I Don't Even Try Lyrics - John Hiatt

I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake 

I dialled 6 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 88 

I got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town 

I said, "I've got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down 

Thought about it for a minute 'til the anger went away 

I figure every dog in town is gonna have his day 

Well, I could count the teardrops, or I could wonder why 

Well I used to be your lover - now I don't even try 

It was champagne parties and sweet love sins 

Now it's warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines 

I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school 

It's the kind of thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool

Got my socks in the oven, something's growing in the sink 

I can't begin to face the day without a couple of drinks 

Ain't had a decent meal since you made me cry 

Well I used to be your lover - now I don't even try 

Memories, take a look at what you've done to me 

It's gettin' so all I do is watch TV 

Can't even prove that I'm alive 

Well, I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake 

I dialled 6-3-7-1-1-8-8 

I got some geezer; said his girlfriend's on the town 

I said, "I've got the wrong number," and I slammed the phone down

But I know the number's right and you're his girl 

Though I wouldn't want to face it for the whole wide world 

Don't come back baby, I think I'm gonna die 

Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try 

I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
