Called Me Back lyrics

[Verse 1]
My so-called buddy never called me back
Called me back, called me back
My so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that

[Verse 2]
I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
The floor of my flat, the floor of my flat
I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
The bugger never called me back

[Verse 3]
Then again he could have troubles himself
Troubles himself, troubles himself
Then again he could have troubles himself
I better try him once more

[Verse 4]
He could be going through a bitter divorce
A bitter divorce, a bitter divorce
He could be going through a bitter divorce
Or a quadruple bypass

[Verse 5]
Or maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
Afoul of the law, afoul of the law
Maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
You never know with that gang
[Verse 6]
He coulda slid into a society scene
Society scene, society scene
He coulda slid into a society scene
And left his old friends behind

[Verse 1]
My so-called buddy never called me back
Called me back, called me back
My so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that

[Outro]
The bugger never called me back
I better try him once more
