If your sideshow seems to get too big for the circus,
If your big tent will not hold what you want it to,
If you just can't seem to take any more of the rumpus,
Then call on me, I'm always glad to see you.

If the risks you take outweigh your part time profits.
If you always seem to have those gamblers blues,
If you=re losing sleep but you don't know where you lost it,
Then call on me, I'm always glad to see you.

Now I will not give you of my time for nothing.
But your smile can make my heart burn like the Sun,
And if you call, you will not find me bluffing,
But call me soon, I'm a straggler on the run.

If you need to talk but your man won't pay attention,
If you need his help but he will not come through,
If your time with him is burned up by dissension,
Then call on me, I'm always glad to see you.

I'm a broken dream that's running down the highway,
But I listen well and I try to understand,
And I won't insist on all things being my way,
And I'll be your lover if I cannot be your man.

If you wake because your night's too dark for dreaming,
If you watch the dawn and this song comes ringing through,
If your loneliness comes on you like a demon,
Then call on me, I'm always glad to see you.

Woman, I've got better things to do
Than spend all my time chasing after you.
If you don't want me, here's what you must do:
You must come out front and tell me.

Woman, the truth will never hurt,
It's the best thing since God invented dirt.
Do you want love or do you just want to flirt.
Won't you come out front and tell me.

Woman, I smile when you're around,
But the way you're acting is playing to my frown.
Are we just friends or are we going down?
Won't you come out front and tell me.

Come on, come out front and tell me.
