Story Behind the Song
"An Outpouring Of Emotion To Someone Who Really Doesn't Deserve It. Someone, Perhaps, With Hidden Agendas. Sometimes, You Just Can't Help Who You Fall In Love With... The Feelings Overwhelm You Before You Discover Their True Character."
This song was written and performed in less than an hour, in one take. It just seemed to flow out as though it had a life of its own. It is a composite of several relationships I've had and others I've known about. Its intimacy is heightened by its simplicity.
Lyrics
I know you're waiting for all the things you need,
Anticipating the feelings as they leave,
And all the times you threw it in my face,
I'd be callin' out, callin' out for your love,
Yes, I'd be callin' out, callin' out for your love,
And as the years roll by,
And I'm faced with all the lies,
It aggrevates me when I think of all the times... (Every time you leave),
You made me feel that I owed you happiness,
When all you ever did was to take your free ride,
You took and seldom gave, yet I always came up short,
But I'd be callin' out, callin' out for your love,
Yes, I'd be callin' out, callin' out for your love,
And as the years go by, and I'm faced with all the lies,
It aggrevates me when I think of all the times... (Every time you leave).
