only if she calls

...And you can tell Jane, if she writes,

That I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.

That's total deceit, but she should've married me.

And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor,

Bleeding out from all these wounds.

I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.

You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
That will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
And bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

You remind Anna, if she asks why,

That a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.

I heard she lives in Carolina with the cool,

Goes crazy over that Southern scene on Queens Avenue.

But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,

Praying she won't cancel again tonight.

And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.

You remind Anna, if she asks why.

You know it's hard to tell you this.

Here's looking at you, kid.
