You Didn't Try To Call Me - The Mothers Of Invention

You didn’t try to call me

Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try

Didn’t ya know I was lonely?

No matter who I take home

I keep on callin' your name

And you…

I need you so bad

You’re The One, babe

Tell me, tell me

Who’s lovin' ya now

'Cause it worries my mind,

And I can’t sleep at all

I stayed home on Friday

Just to wait for your call

And you didn’t try to call me

Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try

Didn’t ya know I was lonely?

No matter who I take home

I keep on callin' your name

And you…

I need you so bad

You’re The One, babe

Tell me, tell me

Who’s lovin' ya now

'Cause it worries my mind,

And I can’t sleep at all

I stayed home on Friday

Just to wait for your call

I can’t say what’s right or what’s wrong

But I love you

All ya gotta do is call me, babe

'Cause I want you

You make me feel

So excited, girl

I got so hung up on you

From the moment that we met,

That no matter how I try,

I can’t keep the tears

From running down my face,

I’m all alone at my place

You didn’t try to call me

Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try

Didn’t ya know I was lonely?

(Baby…)

Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try

(I say, please!)

Didn’t ya know I was lonely?

I stayed home all afternoon, man

I was working on my car

I fixed the upholstery

I fixed the seat so it would tilt back

We were going to go to the drive-in

And you didn’t call me, man

I waited, it was Friday night, I remember, man

It was nine o’clock and I was sitting on home

I was still watching television and you didn’t try to call me

We’d been going steady for six weeks

And… I thought you were my teen-age thrill

I thought you were my teen angel, man

But you didn’t call me

I dig you so much, man, why didn’t you call me

If you could have seen me in the afternoon

I was hung up, I even washed the car

I, I reprimered the right front fender, man

We were gonna go, we were gonna go out

And get some root beer afterwards, man

(Baby!)

And I was gonna show everybody my new carburettor

(Baby!)

And you didn’t try to call me

(Girl!)
