Bad luck's been dogging me
But tonight I'm going to see it through
Going to hop right into that car of mine
And come driving round to you
We'll meet up in the same old place
We met a hundred times before
And we'll eat in the same restaurant
And talk the same old talk.
And if you want to know what happened to me
And if you want to know what I did
I telephoned in a moment of weakness
I telephoned in a moment of weakness
I'd been feeling lonely lately
But then the wheels were running slow
Afraid to talk to strangers
And even the people that I know.
I look around and all I see
Is private people, private lives
That was why I thought that we
Should maybe try it one more time.
I was going to look around for something exciting
See what I could pick up on the run
Take a chance on mother luck and spread my horizons
See what else could be done.
I was going to be as free as the breeze
And the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well I want to tell you that it's true for me
That love is and love was
And if I seemed indifferent
Well then that was just because
So don't give me no hard times
Don't let your pride rule your head
I just picked up the telephone
And now you tell me that it's dead.
