I thought I had your number

1

There must be some mistake

1 4 1

I dialed 6 3 7 Eleven Eighty-eight

1 1

I got some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town

1 |4 1 |

I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down

4 |b7 4

Thot about it for a minute til the anger went away

|1 |4 1 |

I figure ev'ry dog in town is gonna have his day

4 |b7 4

I could count the teardrops or I could wonder why

|1 |4 1 |

Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try

It was champagne parties and sweet love scenes

Now it's warm beer at midnite and girlie magazines

I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school

It's the kinda thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool

Got my socks in the oven somethin's growin' in the sink

I can't begin a peaceful day without a coupla drinks

Ain't had a decent meal since ya made me cry

Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try

4 / 5

Memories take a look at what ya done to me

5 4

It's gettin' so all I do is watch T.V.

4 b7 5

Can't even prove that I'm alive

I thought I had your number

There must be some mistake

I dialed 6 3 7 Eleven Eighty-eight

I go some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town

I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down

But I know the number's rite and you're his girl

Tho I wouldn't wanna face it for the whole wide world

If you don't come back baby, I think I'm gonna die

Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try

Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
