Don't Call Me (Same title as Tom's - different song)
Tom, @IronKnee , posted a song with this title a few days ago. I mentioned that I had one with the same title. He said, "Let's hear it." His wish is my command.😄

DON'T CALL ME
Don’t call me, I don’t want to hear from you
Text me and I won’t reply
Don’t send me no carrier pigeon
I’ll shoot the little bastard right out of the sky
Email me, I’ll just delete it.
For God’s sake don’t show up at my door!
The only message I got for you, baby,
Is I don’t love you any more.
I don’t love you any more
I used to before you tore
My heart apart and it’s still sore
And I don’t love you any more
Sky writing doesn’t impress me
Postcards go straight in the trash
Smoke signals - I’ll call the fire department
To hose down your sorry ass.
Write me a poem about how much you miss me
Yawn, what a terrible bore
Such lamentably amateur iambic pentameter
I don’t love you any more
I don’t love you any more
I used to before you tore
My heart apart and it’s still sore
And I don’t love you any more
So don’t call me, text me, Facebook friend me
Ticktock or Instagram saying let’s meet.
Morse code, semaphore, they’ll just offend me
Stop shouting at me in the street
You wouldn’t be my honey when I had no money
Now you say you think I’m great
Well, you didn’t think a lot of me till I went and won the lottery
Sorry baby, it’s too late
I don’t love you any more
I used to before you tore
My heart apart and it’s still sore
And I don’t love you any more
I don’t love you any more
I used to before you tore
My heart apart and it’s still sore
And I don’t love you any more

Gotta love this line: "Such lamentably amateur iambic pentameter" !!
The chorus is lovely too. And so many ways of communicating!
Nice twist: "Well, you didn’t think a lot of me till I went and won the lottery "
It's clever and funny. Good stuff Gavin.

I'm afraid I will indeed have a lot more songs to post, Sid. Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed it.

I think it would work just as well with a woman singing it, Elvis. The song came to me on a plane to visit my daughter in New York when I had to switch my phone off and realized how unusual it was not to be contactable by others. By the time I landed I pretty much had it written - ironically on my phone LOL.

It would work with a girl singing it , Sky writing would be something a guy would do

@OnlyGavin That's telling her! I'm with rainy day on that line 'such lamentably.....' very cool through and through. WoW! I wondered if winning the lottery was true. So happy you told the story behind the song on your website!
Nice swing and nice rhyming, too!

@HummerWisdom yes, there's always a backstory to the song on my website. I have as much fun writing those as I do the songs themselves.😄
