You Didn't Try To Call Me

 

You didn't try to call me, why didn't you try, didn't you try?

Didn't you know I was lonely?

No matter who I take home, I keep on calling your name

And you, I need you so bad, 'cause you're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now

'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all

I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call

And you didn't try to call me, why didn't you try, didn't you try?

Didn't you know I was lonely?

No matter who I take home, I keep on calling your name

And you, I need you so bad, 'cause you're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me who's lovin' you now

'Cause it worries my mind and I can't sleep at all

I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call

I can't say what's right or what's wrong

But I love you

All you gotta do is call me babe

'Cause I want you

You make me feel so excited girl

I got so hung up on you from the moment that we met

And no matter how I try, I can't keep the tears

From running down my face, I'm all alone in my place

You didn't try to call me, why didn't you try, didn't you try?

Didn't you know I was lonely?

Why didn't you try, didn't you try, didn't you know I was lonely?

 

I stayed home all afternoon man

I was working on my car, I fixed the upholstery

I fixed the seat so it would tilt back

We were going to go to the drive-in and you didn't call me man

I waited, it was Friday night, I remember man

It was nine o'clock and I was sitting on home

I was still watching television and you didn't try to call me

We'd been going steady for six weeks

And I thought you were my teenage prill

I thought you were my teen angel man

But you didn't call me, I dig you so much man, why didn't you call me

If you could have seen me in the afternoon

I was hung up, I even washed the car

I, I reprimered the right front fender man

We were gonna go, we were gonna go out

And get some root beer afterwards man

And I was gonna show everybody my new carburettor

And you didn't try to call me

Las primeras canciones del álbum han estado girando alrededor de un mismo tema, de hecho es todo el primer LP que se hablan de estas cosas relativamente banales que parodian la vida sexual de la juventud de EU y esta canción no es la excepción, sin embargo me parece que la idea de criticar este tema recae en una gran medida el proyecto de vida de los ciudadanos, el cual ha sido de alguna manera es regulado por medio de estas letras para realizarse acorde a los parámetros culturales de que para los jóvenes de este periodo estaba plenamente relacionado con la música que el grupo retoma y satiriza.

Es fácil ver cómo las personas construimos una gran cantidad de conductas y nos apropiamos de palabras, gestos, etc. con el fin de ser más atractivo, tener parejas, ser exitoso, etc. etc.

 Y estas canciones apunta a poner en crisis estas situaciones.
