Tell Him I'm Not Home - Doris Troy, Chuck Jackson

Every time I call you on the phone

They tell me that you’re not at home

But last night when I called you

Before I said hello

I could hear you

(Hear you)

Saying in the background

(Saying in the background)

Oh, yeah

(Tell him I’m not home)

You’re never home

If by chance you found somebody new

And you don’t know what to say or do

I’d feel better when I called you

If you asked me not to phone

Instead of saying

(Hear you)

Saying in the background

(Saying in the background)

Oh, yeah

(Tell him I’m not home)

(Not home)

Not home

(Not home)

Not home

(Not home)

Don’t lie, don’t lie

Baby, don’t lie

If you don’t want to talk to me, baby

Please tell me why

The next time

I call you on the phone

Don’t let them tell me that you’re not at home

I’d feel better if you told me that I am on my own

Instead of saying

(Hear you)

Saying in the background

(Saying in the background)

Oh, yeah

(Tell him I’m not home)

(Not home)

Not home

(Not home)

Not home

(Not home)

Not home

(Not home)
