Night comes early now it must be winter
Every year I feel my clothes get thinner
Hey Shirley yeah yeah when you coming around?
I’ve got some wine and I got a new record
I got fresh bread sitting on the bread board
Hey Shirley yeah yeah when you coming around?
I’m not sayin that I’m cold and lonely
I’m not saying that I need you only
I’m just concerned about your health and safety
So I’ll stick around (and around and around and around)
I sit and listen for your clapped out EJ
I clean my room I even wash the ashtray
Hey Shirley yeah yeah you gotta come around
….
I’m not saying that I really miss you
I’m not saying only love can rescue
I’m just concerned about what I did to you
So I’ll stick around (and around and around and around)
Hang on the phone waiting for your answer
I smoke another coffin nail of cancer
Hey Shirley yeah yeah how come you’re never around …..
I pace the street outside your window
I hang around just waiting for you to show
Hey Shirley yeah yeah how come you’re never around ….
…..
