Don’t Call Me Up lyrics
by Lenny Kravitz
[Verse 1]
I was trying to forget you
But you won't tell me how
Lately I'm finding it tricky
With your picture plastered all over town
Friends pick you up in conversation
Just to see how I'll react
I get this internal lacerations
That jack me up and lay me out flat
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't throw my life away
I can't give the game away
You just wandered off the stage
And left me dealing with the pain
[Chorus]
So don't call me up, oh, when you wanna cry
'Cause I might let you down
Don't call me up on some rainy night
'Cause I might let you down, let you down
[Verse 2]
People ask, "Have you seen her?"
I say, "Not for a while"
I'm gonna see my girlfriend way down in Argentina
We're gonna have a blast for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
But I see you in my inner eye
Touch me with a gentle smile
Wonder if you catch my mood
Can you feel all my solitude?
[Chorus]
Don't call me up, oh when you wanna cry
'Cause I might let you down (Might let you down)
Don't call me up, oh, when some other guy
Hangs your heartstrings out to dry
[Bridge]
As the waves crash around
And the stars hit the ground
I'll be out of my mind once again
As the rain lashes down
And the stars can't be found
I will hold my head high
And just gaze at the sky
I was under your spell
You took me to hell
[Chorus]
But don't call me up if you wanna cry
'Cause I might let you down (Might let you down)
Don't call me up if you want some lie
'Cause I might let you down
[Outro]
Might let you down (Might let you down)
Might let you down
Might let you down
'Cause I might let you down, yeah
Yeah
I was trying, I was trying to forget you
Yeah, but you won't tell me how (Won't tell me how)
Now you're all over town
Ah, you're plastered all over town (All over town)
