Smile When You Call Me That

You're gonna say, "I told you so"

I never should have let you go

Now, ain't it funny then here we are

The two of us in two different bars

When separate gauges dancing slow

We ain't got nobody to call our own

Now, you can always go back home

Well, you just might be there alone

Now, I'm drunk and you're insane

And I can't quit and you won't change

Ain't no halfhearted

RomeoWhy do you treat me so?

Like all of the junk

That's too much to laugh

Well can't you please smile

When you call me that?

Now, days are hotter than you would believe

I ain't having luck making ends meet

Time and money then look at me

I'm richer than a poor man should be

Price of admission, well it's much too steep

For broken, educated clowns like me

But maybe true

I was first to leave

But now I'm begging you please

My heart's on my sleeve

And I'm tipping my eyes

So can't you please smile

When you call me that?

Not much is sitting but this much is true

My arms are useless if they don't have you

They hang around me with nothing to do

I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome too

Neon buzzing and here

I amLast one standing, last call again

While you're unfolding in a stranger's hands

I'll drink up and be somebody's man

Angels can walk,

I've seen it before

They turn handles and they open doors

They act like devils, know you've been warned

They vanish when love is warm

I'm down on my knees

And you won't have me back

But can't you please smile

When you call me that?

I'm down on my knees

And you won't have me back

But can't you please smile

When you call me that?
