I Don't Even Try (Live in London) - John Hiatt

Written by：John Hiatt

I thought I had your number there must be some mistake

I dialed six three seven eleven eighty eight

I got some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town

I said I've got the wrong number

And I slammed the phone down

Thought about it for a minute 'til the anger went away

I figure every dog in town is gonna have his day

Well I could count the teardrops or I could wonder why

Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try

It was champagne parties and sweet love sins

Now it's warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines

I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school

It's the kind of thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool

Got my socks in the oven something's growing in the sink

I can't begin to face the day without a couple of drinks

Ain't had a decent meal since you made me cry

Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try

Memories

Take a look at what you've done to me

It's gettin' so all I do is watch tv

Can't even prove that I'm alive

Well I thought I had your number there must be some mistake

I dialed six three seven one one eight eight

I got some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town

I said I've got the wrong number

And I slammed the phone down

But I know the number's right and you're his girl

Though I wouldn't want to face it for the whole wide world

Don't come back baby I think I'm gonna die

Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try

I used to be your lover now I don't even try

Used to be your lover

Used to used to be your lover

Used to be your lover baby

I used to be your lover baby

Hey yeah
