Only call me when you need someone to talk to
Only phone me when your baby doesn’t call you
Never answer 'less you're feeling lonely
Phone only rings when she's driving you crazy

Only call me when you’re in distress
Your heart's in two and your life’s a mess
I would call you every hour every day
If you give me your heart, if you call me baby

Said you’ll call me everyday
We both know you won’t
You said you’d keep me from all harm
Though you hurt me the most, I know I
Know I shouldn’t stay

But the way you say, way you say my name
I think you’ve changed
When you're exactly the same, exactly the same

Two steps forward
One step back
Two steps forward
One step back

Only call me when you're feeling blue
I’ve been the same way since I fell for you
Never call unless you need somebody
And I’ll always need you more than you could need me

Wish you’d hold me 'stead of putting me on hold
When we talk on the telephone
I would call you every hour every day
If you’d give me your heart
If you’d call me baby

Said you’ll call me everyday
We both know you won’t
You said you’d keep me from all harm
Though you hurt me the most, I know I
Know I shouldn’t stay

But the way you say, way you say my name
I think you’ve changed
When you're exactly the same, exactly the same

Two steps forward
One step back
Oh, Two steps forward
One step back

Said you’ll call me everyday
We both know you won’t
You said you’d keep me from all harm
Though you hurt me the most, I know I
Know I shouldn't stay
But the way you say, way you say my name
I think you've changed
When you're exactly the same, exactly the same

Two steps forward
One step back
Two steps forward
One step back
