Oh doo doo~
I bought you a soda
down at Miller's cafe
Watch the red from your straw
touch your lips that way
You laughed at my stories
but your eyes looked through
Like you were searching the door
for someone new
Baby why don't you want me
I shine my shoes
comb back my hair
Oh yeah
I saved my heart for a girl like you
But you just don't seem to care
I walk you home
you let go of my hand
Like it don't mean a thing at all
Baby why don't you want me
Why am I the last one you call
Mama says be patient(son)
she'll come around
But your heart's at the drive-in
on the edge of town
Parked beside a stranger
in a borrowed ride
While I trace your name
in the air outside
Baby why don't you want me
I shine my shoes
comb back my hair
Oh yeah
I saved my heart for a girl like you
But you just don't seem to care
I walk you home
you let go of my hand
Like it don't mean a thing at all
Baby why don't you want me
Why am I the last one you call
Maybe I'm a dreamer
in a dime store suit
Holding out a ring
in a worn out boot
If I was the one
that you were dreaming of
You'd turn around once
just once for my love
Baby why don't you want me
I press your notes
in a bible by my bed
I tell myself
you'll miss me someday
But you're dancing in my head
I walk alone past the cafe lights
Kicking at the cracks in the wall
Baby why don't you want me
Why am I the last one you call
Oh~
