Not for nothing at all,
not for nothing did I call,
reason is: you´re often appalled.
Hold on now John, you never seemed cold!
I thought you were in love,
then I guess that you´re not,
ah, but then the first thing you wrote
was: Hold on now John,
hold on now John,
hold on now John.
And now you don´t answer when I call,
you don´t answer then.
You don´t answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
Cabbages and kings in your dreams,
these are your dreams.
Maybe they´re not quite what they seem.
Hold on now John,
the blame is undone.
Wash up the air,
don´t drive that car,
never learn to play the guitar,
and leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone,
and leave yourself alone.
You don´t answer when I call,
you don´t answer then.
You don´t answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
You don´t answer when I call,
you don´t answer then.
You don´t answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
Sweeping up the ashes of rock,
sweeping up the ashes of roll,
years begin to take up their toll.
Though not for some
you´ve never seemed cold.
You don´t answer when I call,
you don´t answer then.
You don´t answer when I call,
hold on now John,
hold on now John.
You don´t answer when I call,
you don´t answer then.
You don´t answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
