Don't tell me the reason that you're calling Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone 'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do Maybe when I don't have so much going Or quite so many irons in the fire I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue That's right, I got better things to do Check the air in my tires Straighten my stereo wires Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do I got better things to do
