Dont Call Me Up - Lyrics by Mick Jagger


Lyrics
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


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


So don't call me up

Oh when you wanna cry

Cos I might let you down

Don't call me up

On some rainy night

Cos I might let you down

Let you down


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

But I see you in my inner eye

Touch me with a gentle smile

Wonder if you catch my mood

Can you feel my solitude


So don't call me up

Oh when you wanna cry

Cos I might let you down

Don't call me up

When some other guy

Hangs your heartstrings out to dry


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

Don't call me up [cont]


And just gaze at the sky
I was under your spell

And you took me to hell


Don't call me up

If you wanna cry
I might let you down

Don't call me up

If you want some lie
I might let you down

Might let you down

Might let you down

Might let you down

I was trying to forget you

Yeah

But you won't tell me how

Now you're out all over town

You're plastered all over town

Plastered all over town
