And you lost all your pounds

Is the merci and the wine

Em                         G
You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome

Em7                        E E E
Some would say you got it made

Em                         G
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist

Em7                       E E E
The gardener, and the maid

You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone

Em7                              E E E
Too tired to get dressed and get out

Em                  G
First you're happy, then you're sad

Somehow you always hang up mad

Excuse me if I shout
