Sitting at home with the lights all on trying to shake off the blues
Nothing to do nobody to call when my baby's not here I lose

My Baby's too busy to talk. My baby's too busy to talk to me.

Pantry's full of lies and the fridge is bare. I got no will to go to the store.
I'd leave this old house but I can't make it out, when my baby's not here I'm just a bore.

Oh when you get on the line you pass the phone
To someone I should talk to to someone I should know
I'm dying without you I wish you could see
Darlin when you're not here, I'm not me

My baby's too busy to talk. My baby's too busy to talk to me.

I got laid off from my 9 to 5. I haven't got a dollar to my name.
I'd drink to relax but my credit card is maxed. When my baby's not here, I'm not the same.

Oh when you get on the line you pass the phone
To someone I should talk to to someone I should know
I'm dying without you I wish you could see
Darlin when you're not here, I'm not me

My baby's too busy to talk. My baby's too busy to talk to me.

Friday I went and honkey tonked all night. I rolled into bed around 3.
That girl I was with wouldn't give me a kiss When you're not here, I'm not me.

Oh when you get on the line you pass the phone
To someone I should talk to to someone I should know
I'm dying without you I wish you could see
Darlin when you're not here, I'm not me

My baby's too busy to talk. My baby's too busy to talk to me.
