Jakob Dylan - Smile When You Call Me That lyrics

rate me

You're gonna say I told you so

I never should have let you go

Ain't it funny that here we are

The two of us in two different bars

In separate cages dancing slow

We ain't got nobody to call our own

You can always go back home

You just might be there alone

I'm drunk and you're insane

I can't quit and you won't change

Ain't no halfhearted romeo

Why do you treat me so?

Like our love's a joke

Hurts too much to laugh

Can't you least smile

When you call me that

Days are harder than you would believe

I ain't having luck making ends meet

If time were money then look at me

I'm richer then a poor man should be

Price of admission is much too steep

For broke uneducated clowns like me

It may be true I was the first to leave

But now I'm begging you please

My heart's on my sleeve

And I'm tipping my hat

Can't you at least smile

When you call me that

Not much is certain but this is true

My arms are useless if they don't have you

They hang around me with nothing to do

I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome too

Neon's buzzing and here I am

Last one standing, last call again

While you're unfolding in a stranger's hands

I'll drink up and be somebody's man

Angels can walk I've seen it before

They turn handles, they open doors

They act like devils, now you've been warned

They'll vanish when love is war

I'm down on my knees

And you won't have me back

But you can at least smile

When you call me that
