I Dont 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 girlfriends on the town

I said, "ive 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 dont even try



It was champagne parties and sweet love sins

Now its warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines

I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school

Its the kind of thing youre into when you aint nobodys fool



Got my socks in the oven, somethings growing in the sink

I cant begin to face the day without a couple of drinks

Aint had a decent meal since you made me cry

Well I used to be your lover - now I dont even try



Memories, take a look at what youve done to me

Its gettin so all I do is watch tv

Cant even prove that Im 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 girlfriends on the town

I said, "ive got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down



But I know the numbers right and youre his girl

Though I wouldnt want to face it for the whole wide world

Dont come back baby, I think Im gonna die

Well I used to be your lover, now I dont even try

I used to be your lover, now I dont even try
