Bye Bye, Baby

What's wrong with you today

I could never tell?

Got something drastic on your mind

I can smell the smell

Honey, what's your trip today?

Can't look me in the eye

A couple thousand miles away

You took me by surprise

You left a message on the telephone

From New York City, your new home

You didn't like the neighborhood

You really hated Hollywood

[Chorus]

You said

Bye bye, baby

Bye bye, girl

Bye bye, baby

You're in another world

You said my friends are boring

You said my house is small

You like it fifty stories high

You like livin' tall

You hate the L.A. freeways

You hate the L.A. smog

You hate the west coast phonies

You like the city dogs

I'm confused but I'm not mad

Said I'm the worst you've ever had

I ain't delusional or institutional

But I'm pretty sure I ain't that bad

[Chorus]

I tried to reach you on your private line

You sure ain't calling mine

Now I'm sittin' here all alone

With a broken heart in three time zones

Bye bye, baby

(Bye bye, baby)

Bye bye, girl

(Paging your phone)

Bye bye, baby

(Please check your email)

Bye bye, girl

(Why not your beeper?)

Bye bye, baby

(Stick your head out the window)

Bye bye, girl

(Oh, I'm mad as hell)

Bye bye, baby

Anyone at home?

Hello? Hello?

Anybody there?

Hello? Pick up?
