A long distance call to a mystery blonde
It wasn't good for business
But you say that she cries when she hears the bird's song
You want to soothe her distress

You can't see that she's just the same
As all the stupid people you hate
I'm not saying I'm free from blame
Because I need all the friends I can get
I can get, I can get

I can see that you are leading her on
You say you're feeling listless
The people are tired and commitment has gone
To this I've been a witness

You can't see that I'm just the same
As all the stupid people you hate
I'm not saying I'm free from blame
Because I need all the friends I can get
I can get, I can get
