You didn’t try to call me, why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try?
Didn’t ya know i was lonely?
No matter who i take home, i keep on calling your name
And you, (i need you so bad), you’re the one, babe

Tell me, tell me who’s lovin’ ya now
’cause it worries my mind and i can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on friday just to wait for your call
And you didn’t try to call me

Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try?
Didn’t ya know i was lonely?
No matter who i take home, i keep on calling your name
And you, (i need you so bad), you’re the one, babe

Tell me, tell me who’s lovin’ ya now
’cause it worries my mind and i can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on friday just to wait for your call
I can’t say what’s right or
What’s wrong
But i love you!
All ya gotta do is call me babe
’cause i want you!

You make me feel so excited girl
I got so hung up on you from the moment that we met
That no matter how i try, i can’t keep the tears
From running down my face
I’m all alone at my place

You didn’t try to call me, why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try?
Didn’t ya know i was lonely?
Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try, didn’t ya know i was lonely?
I stayed home all afternoon man
I was working on my car, i fixed the upholstery
I fixed the seat so it would tilt back
We were going to go to the drive-in and you didn’t call me man
I waited, it was friday night, i remember now
It was nine o’clock and i was sitting on home
I was still watching television and ya didn’t try to call me
We’d been going steady for six weeks and i thought you were my
Teenage prill
I thought you were my teenangel man
But you didn’t call me
I dig ya so much man, why didn’t ya call me
If you could have seen me in the afternoon
I was hung up, i even washed the car
I, i reprimered the right front fender man
We were gonna go, we were gonna go out
And get some root beer afterwards man
And i was gonna show everybody my new carburettor
And ya didn’t try to call me
