Call Me Calmly Lyrics
You and I were meant to be
Even though you don't know me
I don't even know your name
And do you think that you know mine?
You were lonely, I was bored
I may be more than you can afford
But I'm sure we'll meet halfway
Chorus:
And I've got this crazy feeling
You've been trying to get to me
When all you have to do is call me calmly
Call me, call me, call me
Basic service sixty bucks
I'll reveal the hand, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive
Love is never in-between
If it isn't one thing, then it's always something else
I don't even know what I mean
I thought that it was nothing, but now I can't find nothing else
Oh, you can't hide
But at least you tried to
Call me, call me, call me
Are you ashamed of what you've done?
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"
(Chorus)
Even though you don't know me
I don't even know your name
And do you think that you know mine?
I may be more than you can afford
But I'm sure we'll meet halfway
And I've got this crazy feeling
You've been trying to get to me
When all you have to do is call me calmly
Call me, call me, call me
I'll reveal the hand, you try your luck
A pair gets me a week in rent
And a straight gets even more
I'm no good at playing cards
I hold my dates in high regard
Pay up front and ye shall receive
If it isn't one thing, then it's always something else
I thought that it was nothing, but now I can't find nothing else
Call me, call me, call me
All we did was have some fun
I won't judge and I won't tell
And I'll forget you when you've gone
I pity all you working stiffs,
Living wondering "what if?"
"What if someday I was free?"

It's from the prostitutes point of view. "I may be more than you can afford..." "Basic service sixty bucks" etc etc.
The line "I pity all your working stiffs" makes me giggle :P
the guy is a hooker. yet another one of bnl's freaky songs.
What makes you think its from a girl's point of view?

The dealing of cards, whatever the guy gets is what they have to pay :) She's a smart one! haha.
Heh... amusing. BNL is lovely.
