I thought I had your number - there must be some mistake
I dialled 6 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 88
I got some geezer; said his girlfriends on the town
I said, Ive 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 dont even try

It was champagne parties and sweet love sins
Now its warm beer at midnight and girlie magazines
I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school
Its the kind of thing youre into when you aint nobodys fool

Got my socks in the oven, somethings growing in the sink
I cant begin to face the day without a couple of drinks
Aint had a decent meal since you made me cry
Well I used to be your lover - now I dont even try

Memories, take a look at what youve done to me
Its gettin so all I do is watch tv
Cant even prove that Im 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 girlfriends on the town
I said, Ive got the wrong number, and I slammed the phone down

But I know the numbers right and youre his girl
Though I wouldnt want to face it for the whole wide world
Dont come back baby, I think Im gonna die
Well I used to be your lover, now I dont even try
I used to be your lover, now I dont even try
