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."
Chorus
