Verse 1:
Oh, I know I don't own ya
But I don't even know if I should phone ya
Someone's sending me letters
Saying you've been going with other fellas
Verse 2:
And babe, I want you
But I don't wanna cry
I'll talk for an hour
To a machine on the end of a telephone line
Chorus 1:
Oh, it just kills me
When all you've got to do is call
Oh, do it any time
'Cos there's never no-one home
Never no-one home
"Leave your message on the ansaphone."
Verse: 3:
I'm not trying to be clever
But at least we're not still living together
All those calls in the evening
If I answer they hang up without speaking
Verse 4:
And babe, I want you
But I don't wanna cry
I'll talk for an hour
To a machine on the end of a telephone line
Chorus 2:
Oh, it just kills me
When all you've got to do is call
Oh, do it any time
'Cos there's never no-one home
Never no-one home
"Leave your message on the ansaphone."
Solo:
(Bleep!) "Hello? It's me.
I just wanted to call and say
that it doesn't matter what you're up to.
I just want you to stay in touch. That's all." (click)
Bridge:
Oh, are you really not at home?
Or are you there, but not alone?
Screening calls, you don't want to receive?
Meaning calls, calls that come from me?
Verse 5:
Oh, I need to see ya
It's not enough for me just to hear ya
You said you'd be here by 10:30
But you want to stay out and be dirty
Chorus 3:
Oh, it just kills me
When all you've got to do is call
Oh, do it any time
'Cos there's never no-one home
Never no-one home
"Leave your message on the ansaphone."
