It's Not Busy, It's Just the Phone

1977

You can call me any old time.
You don’t need any reason or rhyme,
'Cause I’m not busy, I’m talkin’.

Drop me a post card send me a line-
You don’t need any obvious sign
Cause I’m not willing.

I’m anxious, you can call me-
I’m sure to be home, I’m not busy,
It’s just the phone.

I took my problem to the United Nations.
I said, "I’m shallow," I don’t care about your confrontations.
What I care about is: I’m lonely every night.

I’m not picky, I’m not particular.
My house is messy, it ain’t immaculate.
I’m not avanté-garde, I’m simple.
