## Lyrics

Call me, call me, baby

Check me on the cheek, and then

All night, I'll wait for your reply

Now listen, listen, listen here

I can't wait for you to die-ie

I'd look you in the eyes, but they're closed

You don't seem to understand

All's just copacetic

Number after number, after cry, after cry-y

I'm a little dizzy, but it's all gonna end, why?

All the ones that I love have hung up the telephone

Time after time, after time, after time, after -

Time and time again, again, I'll only speak to you

And maybe you should give me back the love I gave to you

I've given up on any kind of hope that's left for me

The wires on the telephone are tangled around me

I can tell you this, oh!

Time is just a-ticking away

Now, hey, now

For you, for you

Ignoring my demise

After dark, and after I've

Called you for the 43rd time

It's driving me mad!

Call me, call me, baby

(One, two, three, four)

My mind's up in a tizzy

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things are better left alone

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things should better stay at home

Why do you never talk to me?

Some things are better left alone

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things should better stay at home

Why do you never talk to me?

...Time after time, after time, after time (ha, ha!)

I can tell you this, oh!

Time is just a-ticking away

Now, hey, now

For you, for you

Nevermore, forevermore

Love is nothing but a waste

Join hands in a beautiful marriage

It's driving me mad! (I can tell you this, oh!)

Life is just a-ticking away (Now, hey, now)

(For you, for you)

Threaded cords and sewing words

Say, "I do, " and end the world

Baby, now, for the 87th time

It's driving me mad!

Call me, call me, baby

Check me on the cheek, and then

All night, I'll wait for your reply

Now listen, listen, listen here

I can't wait for you to die-ie

I'd look you in the eyes (but they're closed)

(You don't seem to understand)

(All's just copacetic)

Number after number, after cry, after cry-y

I'm a little dizzy, but it's all gonna end, why?

All the ones that I love have hung up the telephone

Time after time, after time, after time, after -

Time and time again, again, I'll only speak to you

And maybe you should give me back the love I gave to you

I've given up on any kind of hope that's left for me

The wires on the telephone are tangled around me

I can tell you this, oh!

Time is just a-ticking away

Now, hey, now

For you, for you

Ignoring my demise

After dark and after I've

Called you for the (110th time)

It's driving me mad! (Stitch, sew, cut ties)

(Stitch sew, live and die)

(Stitch, sew, cut ties)

(Stitch, sew, live and die) it's driving

Me mad (stitch, sew, cut ties)

(Stitch sew, live and die)

Ah (stitch, sew, cut ties)

Ah! (Stitch, sew, live and die)
