1. CALL ME

Call me

When your lonely

Call me

I will be free



If you need love

Or just a friend

Call me for company



Last time

You were lonely

You came straight to me



I made you laugh

I gave you my love

I gave you sympathy



Tried to tell myself

I was more than just stuck on you

When I finally pulled you through

I'd have what you were looking for



Now I tried to think

Of what I said

And what I have or haven`t done

I know when you needed me

I was there

I was there



So oh call me

Oh Oh Oh call me

Now you know if you need me

I'll be there

I'll be there

So call me



If you need love

Or just a friend

Call me for company

Call me

Oh Oh Oh call me

Now you know if you need me

I'll be there

I'll be there



So sometimes when your lonely

Call on me

Call me I will be free

Call on me

Sometimes when your lonely

Call on me

Call me I will be free

Call on me



Sometimes when your lonely

Call on me .....

2. JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST

You packed in the morning and I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I
Missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

Now most every morning I
Stare out the window and I
Think about where you might be
I've written you letters
That I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I
Needed before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

[Instrumental Interlude]

You packed in the morning I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just when I needed you most

You left me
Just when I needed you most

3. SUZY


SUZI

[VERSE 1]
Well she never sees it comin'
She never sees it goin'
She lacks a certain point of view
But something always pulls her through
What she tries

[VERSE 2]

It's a weapon deep inside
No mortal could have contrived
Suzi's found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried

Well you dress her up with passion
She wears you like a fashion
That changes with the style of clothes
But passion sticks inside your throat
Like a knife

You thought you'd found the perfect rose
You cut the stem but it still grows
Suzi's found a weapon
And I don't even think she knows

[CHORUS]
So if she catches your eye
God help you
You'll have to run and die
Not to love her

Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she knows

[BRIDGE]

[Repeat VERSE 1]

[Repeat VERSE 2]

[Repeat CHORUS]

Yeah Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried
Yeah Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried
Hmmm, Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried
