The other day as I was sitting alone,
I heard the ringing of the telephone,
So I picked it up to see who was calling an why.
It was a lady I’d been seeing a while,
And though her calls will usually make me smile,
I found that this time all I could do was break down and cry.
‘Caused she called me baby,
And it just drove me crazy,
‘Cause that’s exactly the same
As the old pet name
You gave to me.
When she called me baby,
At first I thought maybe
That it was you on the line
To say that you’d changed your mind
‘Bout you and me.
