Please Call Me, Baby Lyrics
"If I exorcise my devils Well my angels may leave too When they leave they're so hard to find"
Such intelligent lyrics, pointing out that good and bad coexist, and are dependant on the other. Every one of his songs has a line or two that just jumps out at me. Brilliant!
Life is so different than it is in your dreams...
daaa da da daaa dada daaa so please call me, baby... magnificent
Wow! This is such an amazing song! Bittersweet, melancholic, yet romantic at the same time. Tom Waits best song IMO!
can anyone please recommend to me more artists/songs like this type of Tom Waits? I love this bluesy drunken late night intelligent music. timdabomb@triad.rr.com
sorry timcdabomb there is only ONE: Tom Waits
this song is sooo beautiful. its my favourite from tom waits by far. his voice and the piano could almost draw tears.
It's endearing how much this sounds like a Sinatra song (as do a few other songs on this classic album). As everyone knows, the cover of the album is a remake of Sinatra's "In the Wee Small Hours", and this whole album is a concept album (Wee was kind of a concept album itself) that touches on the same stuff .. desolation, isolation, desperation, dreaminess, hope .. I frikkin love this whole cd
@SpasticMinnow it is unfortunate that I can't remove or edit my previous comment that has been rated down. The criticism is accurate if you are indeed looking for the lyrics from "The Early Years v.2"-as this song is classified. HOWEVER- Go to "The Heart of Saturday Night"(album) and choose this song from there. It will bring you here. There are not separate entries for the different versions. So, my lyric correction was correct for the more popular version of the song. So, this either needs to be recategorized as being from "The Heart of Saturday Night" or two versions with differentiated lyrics should be included.
crucial lyric mistake there...
"I'm selfish and I'm cruel and I'm blind" should be "I'm selfish and I'm cruel but you're blind"
This is from the Early Years vol. 2 (you can see at top it sites this album) and he says "I'm selfish and I'm Cruel and I'm Blind" in that version. So the lyrics were correct and now have been "fixed" and are wrong.

@eingluciofulc As I mention in aseparate comment. Your criticism is technically correct- EXCEPT- there is no separate page for the different album versions. If you go to the album page for "Heart of Saturday Night" and click the link, it brings you here. As the studio album is the more popular version- this really should be labeled as being from that album.
