From the recording Crazy Mind, Lonely Heart

Lyrics

(Lyrics co-written by Carol Shaw)
 
You're waiting by the phone again
30 times ring, no satisfaction, he ain't called
You start to worry, must have strength
Now don't you wanna pick it up?
 
And dial a number, another number
Another number and then four more
What you would give to hear the sound of his voice
But he ain't gonna call-he ain't gonna call
 
Crazy Mind, Lonely Heart
Pass the time, torn apart
 
I don't understand why you're so surprised
He wasn't there when you were a kid
What makes you think he's gonna be there now?
 
The telephone seems to know you by name
Knows you by name and it drives you insane
Now don't you wanna pick it up?
 
And dial a number, another number
Another number and then four more
What you would give to hear the sound of his voice
But he ain't gonna call-he ain't gonna call
 
Crazy Mind, Lonely Heart
Pass the time, torn apart
 
You dream all your dreams but at times it seems
That he's just trying to hurt you
I love you it's true, I'm not me without you
But I don't want to see him hurt you
 
He thinks you're confused, that you're gonna be used
That you're taking things too far
But you have what it takes-and that's all it takes
If you know who you are
