Thanks for callin' It's so good to hear your voice But you keep breakin' up In all the static and the noise But I keep listenin' 'Cause I never had a choice when it came to you I'd love to see you If you're ever out this way You sound happy Guess things are working out okay And I'm getting better At putting one foot in front of the other And I know that California ain't to blame And I know there's tons of people in L.A But if you ever get lonely And you miss me If you need someone to listen Even if it's only The sound of someone's voice who loves you That you need to hear You know where to find me If you ever get lonely It sounds like a good time Going down at the other end You got a new love, got a new life A whole new set of friends But are you listenin'? Do you expect me to pretend That I don't love you I don't love you If you ever get lonely And you miss me If you need someone to listen Even if it's only The sound of someone's voice who loves you That you need to hear You know where to find me If you ever get lonely Were you ever really listening? Were you ever really there? But if you ever get lonely And you miss me If you need someone to listen Even if it's only The sound of someone's voice who loves you That you need to hear You know where to find me If you ever get lonely If you ever get lonely

Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' Oh I can't use nothin'
