Call Me Right Back

For clarification.
You want me to be aware
Of my loneliness...
So you decided to give me a call?

Let me repeat that...
Because there is something,
I am definitely missing!

YOU want ME to be aware
Of MY loneliness...
So YOU decided to give ME a call?

Oooookkkaaaayyy!
Now...
Should I give you a clue,
When YOU get thisclose...
To perfecting irritation?
Or should I give you dialtone,
To improve upon your presentation?

I tell you what!
Why don't you call me right back.
And if your get a busy signal...
Maybe,
Just maybe...
I'm trying to call you?

How's that?
Because IF I should give you dialtone now...
You might misinterpret,
The meaning.
And I don't ever want you to think,
I can be rude.
