I want someone to sweep me away
Not to put me off like a bad habit for another day
Don't turn me over like a book and break my spine
Leave me gathering dust 'til you find the time

So if you gotta run
Go and have your fun
Don't call me when you're lonely
Don't call me when you're drunk
Go on and run away
Counting on someday
There's nothing you can do now
There's nothing you can say
So don't call

I'm so sick and tired of excuses
Every empty word you say is so damn useless
You say you got half a mind to leave here, half a heart to stay
If you put them together you still can't find your way

So if you gotta run
Go and have your fun
Don't call me when you're lonely
Don't call me when you're drunk
Go on and run away
Counting on someday
There's nothing you can do now
There's nothing you can say
So don't call
No honey, don't call

Oh no, don't call me in the middle of the night
Don't call me when you think you've got it right
Don't call me when it isn't what you thought it'd be
Don't call don't call, don't call don't call

So if you gotta run
Go and have your fun
Don't call me when you're lonely
Don't call me when you're drunk
Go on and run away
Counting on someday
There's nothing you can do now
There's nothing you can say
So don't call

No honey, don't call
Oh no, don't call
No, no, no, no, don't call
