You Never Phone Loudon Wainwright III
"You Never Phone" by Loudon Wainwright III is a folk song from 1972 that explores themes of longing, disappointment, and unreciprocated affection.

(performed as a duet with Martha Wainwright)
Loudon:
You never phone, you never write
Hey, I've stopped hoping that you might
You're trying to hurt my feelings, right?
You never phone and you never write
Martha:
You never write, you never phone
I'm sorry I gotta bitch and moan
I'm sorry I gotta pick this bone
You never write, you never phone
Both:
Sometimes I wonder
What you must think of me
My address and phone number
Must be misty in your memory
Loudon:
This year my birthday came and went
No call was made, no card was sent
But I got the snub you must have meant
This year my birthday came and went
Loudon:
You never phone, you never write
Hey, I've stopped hoping that you might
You're trying to hurt my feelings, right?
You never phone and you never write
Martha:
You never write, you never phone
I'm sorry I gotta bitch and moan
I'm sorry I gotta pick this bone
You never write, you never phone
Both:
Sometimes I wonder
What you must think of me
My address and phone number
Must be misty in your memory
Loudon:
This year my birthday came and went
No call was made, no card was sent
But I got the snub you must have meant
This year my birthday came and went
