lyrics

Feeling a little neglected?
Don't think that I'm being mean.
Just can't see you if you're not on this screen.
The world can get kind of lonely
It's hard to make it alone.
You can't call me if you're not on my phone.
The world has plenty of people
Blocking my path when they walk
I'm sure a couple of you
Can put down the phone and talk
But that ain't me.

Some folks are full of complaining
They need to bitch and moan.
Won't concern me
'Cause I don't have to answer the phone.
You can't think of what to say
It's probably just as well
We've built plenty of ways of hiding inside a shell
So go away
I might be writing an email
Or tagged by a Facebook friend.
I'm right on that
My answer's nearly ready to send.
So sent me a text or an email
And you'll be on my screen.
