If you know he ain't home why do you keep callin'

You're gonna drive yourself crazy and you know that it's true

You're already wild and blue

In somebody's room on the far side of town

With your mind all made up and the shades all pulled down

It's four in the morning

Why don't you come home

I know you've been wild and blue
