i don't even try

Lyrics

i thought i had your number - there must be some mistake, i dialled 6 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 88, i got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town, i said, "i've got the wrong number," and i slammed the phone down, thought about it for a minute 'til the anger went away, i figure every dog in town is gonna have his day, well, i could count the teardrops, or i could wonder why, well i used to be your lover - now i don't even try, it was champagne parties and sweet love sins, now it's warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines, i stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school, it's the kind of thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool, got my socks in the oven, something's growing in the sink, i can't begin to face the day without a couple of drinks, ain't had a decent meal since you made me cry, well i used to be your lover - now i don't even try, memories, take a look at what you've done to me, it's gettin' so all i do is watch tv, can't even prove that i'm alive, well, i thought i had your number - there must be some mistake, i dialled 6-3-7-1-1-8-8, i got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town, i said, "i've got the wrong number," and i slammed the phone down, but i know the number's right and you're his girl, though i wouldn't want to face it for the whole wide world, don't come back baby, i think i'm gonna die, well i used to be your lover, now i don't even try, i used to be your lover, now i don't even try
