Lyrics John Hiatt – I Don’t Even Try

I thought I had your number — there must be some mistake
I dialled 6 — 3 — 7 — 11 — 88
I got some geezer; said his girlfriend’s on the town
I said, «I’ve got the wrong number,» and I slammed the phone down

It was champagne parties and sweet love sins
Now it’s warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines
I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school
It’s the kind of thing you’re into when you ain’t nobody’s fool

Got my socks in the oven, something’s growing in the sink
I can’t begin to face the day without a couple of drinks
Ain’t had a decent meal since you made me cry
Well I used to be your lover — now I don’t even try

Memories, take a look at what you’ve done to me
It’s gettin’ so all I do is watch TV
Can’t even prove that I’m alive

Well, I thought I had your number — there must be some mistake
I dialled 6-3-7-1-1-8-8
I got some geezer; said his girlfriend’s on the town
I said, «I’ve got the wrong number,» and I slammed the phone down

But I know the number’s right and you’re his girl
Though I wouldn’t want to face it for the whole wide world
Don’t come back baby, I think I’m gonna die
Well I used to be your lover, now I don’t even try
I used to be your lover, now I don’t even try
