Why Should You Come When I Call? by Counting Crows

It's one thirty in the morning
That's alright by me
When you're just waiting by the phone

Well, I should give a little warning
But I need the things I need
I'm not proud to need a hand
But I just don't understand

So why should you come when I call
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own

Ain't necessarily a bad thing
To believe the things I say
'Cause you can make yourself feel good

You know it's really not a good thing
To give everything to me
I'm just waiting for the show
'Cause I got nowhere to go

So why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own

'Cause nothing makes me feel so good
But gets me high
So I sleep at night
And that's enough and everything's alright
I feel nice

I'm so sorry in the morning
You could believe what you believe
I'm used to waking up alone

And if you think about it
Anyone you think about is a better love than me
But if you've not fallin' quite asleep
I might call tonight
If that's alright

Why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all
Why do I go when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone
You ought to get out on your own

Ohh, why should you come when I call?
Ohh ho ohh ho
Ohh, why do I go when I go?
Ohh ho
Why should you, why should you come when I call?
Ohh ho ohh ho
Why should you come, why should you come when I call?
Hmm
