She said, «Tell me what it’s all about.» I said «Why, why, why?
It’s just something you could do without. You better try, try try.»
She said, «I can’t reach you on the telephone.
I can’t call you when you’re not at home.
You keep saying that you’re all alone.
That’s a lie, lie, lie.»
CHORUS:
Bad advice had me down and undone. Got to try again to believe in myself.
Look at me, I’m alone in the end. Can you see me falling, falling down.
I said, «Mama can you get it straight?» She said «Why, why, why?»
-«I wanna tell you that it just can’t wait, so let’s try, try, try»
She said, «I don’t care where you might have gone.
I don’t care ’cause you’ve done me wrong.
You been doin’ it far too long,
So goodbye, bye, bye.»
