Lyrics
You didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try, I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely
No matter who I take home
I keep on calling your name
Shanook
And you (I need you so bad)
You're the one babe
Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home all Friday just to wait for your call
And you didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
To call me
Why didn't you try
Didn't you try, didn't you try
Didn't you know I was lonely
I'm so lonely
No matter who I take home
I keep calling your name
And you I need you so bad
You're the one babe
Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now
Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all
I stayed home all Friday just to wait for your call
Chak, cha cha, chakkechak cha cha
I can't say what's wrong or what's right
All you got to do is call me babe
You make me feel so excited girl
I got so hung up on you
From the moment that we met
And no matter how I try
I can't keep the tears
From running down my face
I'm all alone in my place
