Can I Call You

If I'm sitting all alone and I find my telephone
Can I call you?
If I spoke to you before, but I need to tell some more
Can I call again?

A telephone just ain't enough
When this lonely night gets just too tough to take
Can I come on your door knockin'
When we're done through talking
Can I call you?

Cause I need love so badly
To ever see me through
That's why I keep reaching out for you

If my money's runnin' low and I need a place to go
Can I call you?
If I get a fresh supply of some wine to get us high
Should I call you up?

If I dread you should discover, that I tried another lover
Just to see how good you are, baby
When you're all done screaming, shouting
--- throwing things and pouting
Can I call you?

Cause I need you so near me, I can't let you go
So don't ever tell me, tell me "no"

(Solos)

Cause I need love so badly
To ever see me through
That's why I keep reaching out for you
