"Waiting For Your Call"

Probably the most successful of my purely pop songs. This one appeared first on my Spring ’88 tape.

Waiting For Your Call

© 1988 Brian Hutzell

Reliability was never your forte

Forgetting to tell me things, and showing up late

But I loved you and I easily overlooked your will to roam

I loved you and I easily understood why the telephone wasn’t ringing

(I waited and waited)

The phone wasn’t ringing (but I didn’t mind waiting)

How I wish I was still waiting for your call, oh

Anywhere you cared to lead me I would follow

When you left, I wasn’t looking so I lost you

And I don’t have any clue where you have gone to

So often inthe past you kept me waiting

And I'd sit by the phone without complaining

But you’ve gone away without explaining

And I’ve got a funny feeling there’s no reason for my remaining

How I wish I was still waiting for your call, oh

Anywhere you cared to lead me I would follow

But this time you simply left without a warning

And I know I won’t accomplish anything waiting for the phone to ring

Waiting for the phone to ring, Waiting for your call

Responsibility was never your first thought

You found something more interesting or simply forgot

More than once

We discussed your reluctance to keep an appointment on time

And you promised I’d never be stuck anymore staying up at night

Waiting and listening (There were times when I’d hate you)

The phone wasn’t ringing (But I always forgave you)

How I wish I was still waiting for your call, oh

Anywhere you cared to lead me I would follow

But this time you simply left without a warning

And I know I won’t accomplish anything waiting for the phone to ring

Waiting for the phone to ring, Waiting for your call

I must confess that losing my rest used to annoy me

But if I had that chance tonight I would enjoy it

How I wish I was still waiting for your call, oh

Anywhere you cared to lead me I would follow

When you left, I wasn’t looking so I lost you

And I don’t have any clue where you have gone to

So often inthe past you kept me waiting

And I'd sit by the phone without complaining

But you’ve gone away without explaining

And I’ve got a funny feeling there’s no reason for my remaining

How I wish I was still waiting for your call, oh

Anywhere you cared to lead me I would follow

But this time you simply left without a warning

And I know I won’t accomplish anything waiting for the phone to ring

Waiting for the phone to ring
