Now when iґm sick and tired and iґm far away from home I need to hear your voice on the telephone Thatґs just what I need to feel at home No matter how far away I am, how bad I feel 'cause thereґs no greater thrill in my life Than to hear your sweet voice in my ear, itґs nice It makes the miles apart not so far Brings hope to me like a shining star
I get so tired out when I reach over and dial out And all I get is the stupid machine it says "iґm not at home right now If you know what I mean So if you will leave your name and number Sometime iґll give you a call back and if you donґt I wonґt make time for you no more, jack"
See iґm sick and tired of layinґ alone I get these cold sweats when iґm far away from home And if I could just hear your voice one more time I might have a little inspiration to continue My life in a way that I can that doesnґt seem So destructive as I am but itґs ok if I donґt Get you today, iґll just listen to your Answering machine ok fucked up piece of Shit 30 seconds and iґm cut off No return calls (once a week)
