Called Me Back

My so-called buddy never called me back
Called me back, called me back
My so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that

I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
The floor of my flat, the floor of my flat
I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
The bugger never called me back

Then again he could have troubles himself
Troubles himself, troubles himself
Then again he could have troubles himself
I better try him once more

He could be going through a bitter divorce
A bitter divorce, a bitter divorce
He could be going through a bitter divorce
Or a quadruple bypass

Or maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
Afoul of the law, afoul of the law
Maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
You never know with that gang

He coulda slid into a society scene
Society scene, society scene
He coulda slid into a society scene
And left his old friends behind

My so-called buddy never called me back
Called me back, called me back
My so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that
The bugger never called me back
I better try him once more
