lyrics
Heartfelt ~ Dave Coleman
I know it’s getting late & we’ve all made mistakes
All the same it’s a familiar voice
You meant to erase it cause honey let’s face it
My number was never your first choice
But since we’re on the phone how you gettin’ along
Must be busy cause you were never there
Me I’ve been fine not been biding my time
I been busy working on home repairs
I know your heartfelt
But it’s best after all
I guess you meant to call someone else
I suggest you call someone else
But enough about me is your cat in a tree
Or is your whole world up in fire
Is your car in a ditch or are you feeling an itch
Either way I’m not a taker or a buyer
Well I’ve spoken my peace dial two to repeat
Nostalgia is a waste like no other
Goodbye and good luck from this number you called up
& by the way give my best to your dear mother
