Lyrics
You say you were wrong, to ever leave me alone
Now you’re sorry, you’re lonesome and scared
And you say you’d be happy, if you could just come back home
Well here’s a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who’ll listen and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sordid affairs
But don’t you come ’round here handin’ me none of your lines
Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares
Well I thought what we had, could never turn bad
So your leavin’ caught me unaware
But the fact is you’ve run, girl that can’t be undone
So here’s a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who’ll listen and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sordid affairs
But don’t you come ’round here handin’ me none of your lines
Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares
Yeah here’s a quarter, call someone who cares
