I said I should've called, should've sent a postcard Cause when I'm gone, you want to know just what goes on I said don't be a pal, you should've known I won't call Unless I'm on to something good all my life If he would come to see me, I'd take him in gladly It's not now or ever If he would come to see me, I would be so happy It's not now or ever And I would gladly send him letters, but it won't be worth the ache I would follow his direction, but I don't wanna think about it now I won't think about it now Cause when I'm gone, he wants to know just what goes on I said after all, he shouldn't wait for my call I said don't be a pal, you should've known that your concerns are not my own I said don't be a pal, you should've known that your concerns are not my own
