4 Million Telephones

[Verse 1]
I've been sitting here baby, waiting for your call
I guess that I knew it won't be coming at all
I knew that you'd string me out on a line
You're a fine girl
I guess you're high balling all over the town
While I'm in this room with the shutters pulled down
Alone with these walls while you're out
Hitting the high spots

[Chorus 1]
Oh, it's a shame how baby do me so wrong
Bust your gut trying but you can't get along
Got to send you baby and your lovin' back home
'Cause I can't take this love no more

[Verse 2]
I guess I'll break open that bottle of rye
Now I that I need it with these tears I cry
But the ambulance siren down in the streets seem to sing
"How I need you"
Oh, but I need you like a cactus needs cyanide pills
And I need you like a pauper needs unpaid bills
And I need you like a hibernating bear needs
Someone to wake him

[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a shame how baby do me so wrong
Bust your gut trying but you can't get along
Got to send you baby and your lovin' back home
'Cause I can't take this love no more

[Verse 3]
Must be four million telephones in this one horse town
You couldn't even bother to track one down
I've got a good mind to rip out the plug from the wall
You'll find me down at the bar
'cause I've been sitting here baby, waiting for your call
I guess that I knew it won't be coming at all
I knew that you'd string me out on a line
You're a fine girl

[Chorus 3]
Oh, it's a shame how baby do me so wrong
Bust your gut trying but you can't get along
Got to send you baby and your lovin' back home
'Cause I can't use that love, can't use that love
Can't use that love no more
Can't use that love, can't use that love
Can't use that love no more
Can't use that love no more

[Outro]
Ohh...
Oh, but you know
How much I really need you baby
