I Don`t Even Try — текст песни (John Hiatt)

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
