Please Call Me Baby
Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls
Left a trail across the sky
You spit as you walked out the door
If this is love we're crazy
As we fight like cats and dogs
I just know there's got to be more
So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
It's too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when we're wounded
Everyone's a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
I'll admit I ain't no angel
I admit I ain't no saint
I'm selfish and cold but you're blind
If I exercise my devils
Well, my angels may leave too
And they're so hard to find
So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
It's too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when we're wounded
Everyone's a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
We're always at each other's throats
You know it drives me up the wall
Most of the time blowin' off steam
I wish to hell you'd leave me
I wish to God you'd stay
Life's so different in a dream
So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
It's too cold to be out walking the streets
We do crazy things when we're wounded
Everyone's a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Walking in the rain
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Out walking in the rain
