If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall

I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Gm                    Eb
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
Gm                            Eb
All those things she said, I told you to ignore

If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
Gm                           Eb 
I want to tell you something you've known all along

Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
