Well, I know you think you know the truth
And I bet you think they're after you
And I know you think you've got the clout
But don't call me when it don't work out
Don't write me on your telephone
Don't ring me on your way back home
And you say that you're not gonna shout
But don't call me when it don't work out
You can't whisk me with your soothing word
You can't tell me I can rest assured
I know you think you've valved the spout
But don't call me when it don't work out
Your face is burned into my mind
Your song until the end of time
I knew you'd never be devout
But don't call me when it don't work out
Well, I know you think you know the truth
And I bet you think they're after you
And I know you think you've got the clout
But don't call me when it don't work out
