Album: Berneice Huff and son, Bill sings… Popular Favorites

(Verse)
Well, you said that you would call me
And you didn't call me
I gave you up for dead
And I was working on a backbone
Chiseling a tombstone
When you called me up and said
Through a wall of heavy breathing
You thought it was relieving
To be out on your own
How a voice that used to fill me
Cut me up and kill me
On the fucking telephone

(Chorus)
You did not even send me airborne, anyway
Why in the world I hung around, it's hard to say

(Verse)
Well, it was just another Thursday
Like any other Thursday
Except that we were through
We were wading in the concrete
Digging through the scrap heap
Deciding what belonged to who
And all the treasure from the good days
Was going through the last phase
Of yours and yours and mine
When something from the yours pile
Shattered on the floor tile
And you went off like Frankenstein

(Chorus x2)
You did not even send me airborne, anyway
Why in the world I hung around, it's hard to say

(Verse)
I think it's clear that I adore you
I didn't mean to bore you
Or grind it in so deep
I had to place another call
Didn't think that you would fall in
With the company you keep
And you tell me that you love me
But you don't really love me
You remind me every day
When you're living on the flood plain
It doesn't take a hard rain
To wash it all away

(Chorus x2)
You did not even send me airborne, anyway
Why in the world I hung around, it's hard to say
