I missed my father's 80th birthday |
|
'Cause I was working nine to five |
|
I didn't want to, but I was just too |
|
Too busy thinking about |
|
Cars, cash, and credit |
|
How to establish myself a blanket |
|
To secure me some savings for the years to come |
|
I know nothing's ever over if I can prove |
|
My intentions were good |
|
So I search for something clever to say to you |
|
But I can't |
|
'Cause the action speaks for itself |
|
Now I'm back to zero |
|
I just called to tell you |
|
Tell you I love you |
|
Tell you I love you |
|
I just called |
|
Called to tell you, really nothing at all |
|
You know how these things happen |
|
I'm not quite sure what's been lacking |
|
In my life |
|
But I think it's likely it's you |
|
I missed my first real anniversary |
|
'Cause I was drinking by myself |
|
Being an artist, yeah I was just too |
|
Too busy dreaming about |
|
Songs, fame, and romance |
|
And \"what a groovy night for a moondance\" |
|
I forgot, it's not groovy when you're all alone |
|
I know nothing's ever over if I can prove |
|
My intentions were good |
|
So I search for something clever to say to you |
|
But I can't |
|
'Cause the action speaks for itself |
|
Now I'm back to zero |
|
I just called to tell you |
|
Tell you I love you |
|
Tell you I love you |
|
I just called |
|
Called to tell you, really nothing at all |
|
You know how these things happen |
|
I'm not quite sure what's been lacking |
|
In my life |
|
But I think it's likely it's you |
