Lyrics Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies

Call Me Calmly

You and I were meant to be

Even though you don't know me

I don't even know your name

And do you think that you know mine?

You were lonely, I was bored

I may be more than you can afford

But I'm sure we'll meet halfway

And I've got this crazy feeling

you've been trying to get to me

When all you have to do is calmly

Call me, call me, call me

Basic service: sixty bucks

I'll roll the dice, you try your luck

A pair gets me a week in rent

And a straight gets even more

I'm no good at playing cards

I hold my dates in high regard

Pay up front and ye shall receive

Love is never in-between

if it isn't one thing, then

it's always something else

I don't even know what I mean

I thought that it was nothing, but now I

can't find nothing else

Oh, you can't hide

But at least you tried to

Call me, call me, call me

Are you ashamed of what you've done?

All we did was have some fun

I won't judge and I won't tell

And I'll forget you when you've gone

I pity all you working stiffs,

Living wondering "what if?"

"What if someday I was free?"

And I've got this crazy feeling

you've been trying to get to me

When all you have to do is calmly

Call me, call me, call me
