Don't Call
Desire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're gone
And babe that's a good thing
I'm still here
And looking for something
To come along, to come along
I know, I know
We both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care
About winning
So don't call, don't call
To talk about nothing

So many times
I waited for you
I figured it out
And now we're through
I wont give up, I wont give in
I know, I know
We both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care
About winning
So don't call, don't call
To talk about nothing

You're gone
And babe that's a good thing
I've spent my days working for something
We don't give up, we don't give in
I know, I know
We both say the same things
I don't care, I don't care
About winning




So don't call, don't call
To talk about nothing
