Words & music by steven page & ed robertson

You and I were meant to be
Even though you dont know me
I dont 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 Im sure well meet halfway

And Ive got this crazy feeling
Youve been trying to get to me
When all you have to do is calmly
Call me, call me, call me

Basic service: sixty bucks
Ill roll the dice, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more.
Im no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive

Love is never in-between
If it isnt one thing, then
Its always something else

I dont even know what I mean
I thought that it was nothing, but now i
Cant find nothing else
Oh, you cant hide
But at least you tried to

Call me, call me, call me

Are you ashamed of what youve done?
All we did was have some fun
I wont judge and I wont tell
And Ill forget you when youve gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering what if?
what if someday I was free?

Chorus
