Voice Mail (from the blues)

I got home just the other night
thus far my job had been the day's only blight
I checked my machine and saw the blinkin' light
I heard my baby's voice, you know my heart it got tight I
I really love that girl

My butterflies fluttered then they fluttered away
I started to hear what my baby she had to say
she'd found a new fella she was movin' away
I rewound the message and I let it replay
I got a voice mail
from the blues

I tried to ring my baby but she won't take my calls
my heart is brittle it won't survive the fall
I tried to email her but the server kicked it back
I sent a text message pleadin' "please take me back"
I really love that girl

A modern dear John you know that's what I got
and what I'm left with it doesn't feel like a lot
a hole in my chest that goes from cold to hot
I'm tryin' to reach my baby by every means I got
you know -

I tried fax her fax you know
I tried to page her page
I tried to call her cell phone
but the number must've change
I'll leave another message right after the beep
I'm tryin' to stop my baby 'fore she takes that leap.
