Called To Tell You

I, I missed my father's
80th birthday
'Cause I was working
nine to five
I didn't want to
but I was just too
Too busy thinking about
Cars, cash, and credit
How to establish
myself a blanket
To secure
me some savings for the years to come

I know nothing's ever over if I can prove
My intentions were good
So I search for something clever to say to you
But I can't
'Cause the action speaks for itself
Now I'm back to zero-oh-oh

I just called to tell you
Tell you I love you
Tell you I love you
I just called
Called to tell you, really nothing at all
You know how
these things happen
I'm not quite sure
what's been lacking
In my life
But I think it's likely it's you

I, I missed my first
real anniversary
'Cause I was drinking
by myself
Being an artist
Yeah I was just too-ooh-ooh
Too busy dreaming about
Songs, fame, and romance
And "what a groovy
night for a moondance"
I forgot
it's not groovy when you're all alone

I know nothing's ever over if I can prove
My intentions were good
So I search for something clever to say to you
But I can't
'Cause my tail's tucked between my knees
And I feel real sheepish oh-oh

I just called to tell you
Tell you I love you
Tell you I love you
I just called
Called to tell you, really nothing at all
You know how
these things happen
I'm not quite sure
what's been lacking
In my life
But I think it's likely it's

Oh, I think it's likely it's
Oh, I think it's likely it's you, ooh-ooh, ooh-oh
