The Pickup Song

Girl if I don’t pick up
It’s cause I’m in my pickup

I did what I could
To be there for you
I thought that you and me
Were dreamin’ of a life for two
The sun was shinin’
And the sky, so blue
You threw it all away
When you made me your fool
So...

Girl if I don’t pick up
It’s cause I’m in my pickup
And I’m on my way to pick up
Somebody else
My heart is always achin’ for love
You’re always fakin’
And I think it’s time you pick up yourself
I’m gonna love somebody else

I could go ahead and beg you
I could tell you what’s at stake
But it ain’t no use at all
All you do is take, take, take
How many fools, how many
Hearts you gonna break?

Thought we were makin’ love
But we were makin’ a mistake
So...

Girl if I don’t pick up
It’s cause I’m in my pickup
And I’m on my way to pick up
Somebody else
My heart is always achin’ for love
You’re always fakin’
And I think it’s time you pick up yourself
I’m gonna love somebody else

You know everybody needs
Someone (sometime)
You’re gonna need a number to call (hotline)
I used to sit by the phone thinking
You’d get some sense
But if you call me up tonight
All you’re gonna get is radio silence

Girl if I don’t pick up
It’s cause I’m in my pickup
And I’m on my way to pick up
Somebody else
My heart is always achin’ for love
You’re always takin’
And I think it’s time you pick up yourself
I’m gonna love somebody else
