Just Checking
Didn't really want to talk
don't have much to say
We haven't talked in a while
a little longer wouldn't matter anyway
Don't keep me on the phone too long
you know I don't like commentation
Let's just say hi, say bye
I didn't call to have a long conversation
Or to hear how your distant cousins are doing
How your day went
If you cashed your check
and how much money you spent
Just calling to see
'cause I care enough;
show enough concern
to pick up the phone and say
"Just checking to see if you're breathing."
