Don't Call Me Up

Don't Call Me Up - Mick Jagger

I was trying to forget you

But you won't tell me how

Lately I'm finding it tricky

With your picture plastered all over town

Friends pick you up in conversation

Just to see how I'll react

I get these internal lacerations

That jack me up and lay me out flat

But I can't throw my life away

I can't give the game away

You just wandered off the stage

And left me dealing with the pain

So don't call me up oh

When you wanna cry

'Coz I might let you down

Don't call me up on some rainy night

'Coz I might let you down let you down

People ask have you seen her

I say not for a while

I'm gonna see my girlfriend way down in Argentina

We're gonna have a blast for a while

But I see you in my inner eye

Touch me with a gentle smile

Wonder if you catch my mood

Can you feel my solitude

Don't call me up oh

When you wanna cry

'Coz I might let you down

Don't call me up only some other guy

Hangs your heartstrings out to dry

As the waves crash around

And the stars hit the ground

I'll be out of my mind once again

As the rain lashes down

And the stars can't be found

I will hold my head high

And just gaze at the sky

I was under your spell

And you took me to Hell

Don't call me up if you wanna cry

'Coz I might I might let you down

Don't call me up as you want some lie

'Coz I might let you down

Might let you down might let you down

Might let you down might let you down

Might let you down yeah yeah

I was trying I was trying to forget you yeah

But you won't tell me how

Now you're out all over town

And you're plastered all over town
