Don't call me up

I was trying to forget you
But you won´t tell me how
Lately I´m finding it tricky
With your picture plastered all over town
Friends pick you up in conversation
Just to see how I´ll react
I get this internal lacerations
That jack me up and lay me out flat
But I can´t throw my life away
I can´t give the game away
You just wandered off the stage
And left me dealing with the pain
So don´t call me up
Oh when you wanna cry
Cos I might let you down
Don´t call me up
On some rainy night
Cos I might let you down
Let you down
People ask have you seen her
I say not for a while
I´m gonna see my girlfriend
Way down in Argentina
We´re gonna have a blast for a while
But I see you in my inner eye
Touch me with a gentle smile
Wonder if you catch my mood
Can you feel my solitude
So don´t call me up
Oh when you wanna cry
Cos I might let you down
Don´t call me up
When some other guy
Hangs your heartstrings out to dry
As the waves crash around
And the stars hit the ground
I´ll be out of my mind once again
As the rain lashes down
And the stars can´t be found
I will hold my head high
Don´t call me up [cont]
And just gaze at the sky
I was under your spell
And you took me to hell
Don´t call me up
If you wanna cry
I might let you down
Don´t call me up
If you want some lie
I might let you down
Might let you down
Might let you down
Might let you down
I was trying to forget you
Yeah
But you won´t tell me how
Now you´re out all over town
You´re plastered all over town
Plastered all over town
But you won´t tell me how
Lately I´m finding it tricky
With your picture plastered all over town
Friends pick you up in conversation
Just to see how I´ll react
I get this internal lacerations
That jack me up and lay me out flat
But I can´t throw my life away
I can´t give the game away
You just wandered off the stage
And left me dealing with the pain
So don´t call me up
Oh when you wanna cry
Cos I might let you down
Don´t call me up
On some rainy night
Cos I might let you down
Let you down
People ask have you seen her
I say not for a while
I´m gonna see my girlfriend
Way down in Argentina
We´re gonna have a blast for a while
But I see you in my inner eye
Touch me with a gentle smile
Wonder if you catch my mood

You´re plastered all over town
Plastered all over town
