Call Me Calmly by Barenaked Ladies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I were meant to be
Even though you don't know me
I don't even know your name
And do you think that you know mine?
You were lonely, I was bored
I may be more than you can afford
But I'm sure we'll meet halfway

[Chorus]
And I've got this crazy feeling
You've been trying to get to me
When all you have to do is calmly
Call me, call me

[Verse 2]
Basic service, sixty bucks
I'll deal the hand, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive
[Chorus 2]
Love is never in-between
If it isn't one thing, then
It's always something else
I don't even know what I mean
I thought that it was nothing
Now I can't find nothing else
Oh, you can't hide
But at least you tried to
Call me, call me, calmly call me

[Verse 3]
Are you ashamed of what you've done?
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"

[Chorus]
