Telephone Book Lyrics by Violent Femmes

Telephone Book Lyrics

    I look at my telephone book
    I look at my telephone book
    I can't stand the way it look
    I hate to think the way you took
    Me down into a burnin' rage
    I wrote your name on every page
    But you don't return my calls
    You don't return my calls
    You don't return my calls
    I'm ready to bust down the walls
    I'm going down niagara falls
    In a barrel of fun
    Hey ain't i a lucky one
    You don't return my calls
    My telephone book is the color red
    My telephone book is the color red
    The red is all in my head
    Some things are left better unsaid
    Is that why you don't try
    To acknowledge or reply
    You don't return my calls
    Why did you hear from an old friend
    I knew once way back when
    I did some bad things to myself and my health
    Or did you happen to hear an old song i once sang
    Did it make your sweet sweet blood run cold in your veins
    And will you never think of me the same
