[Verse 1] Don't tell me the reason that you're calling Is to see if I'm alright since you've been gone 'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do [Chorus] I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do [Verse 2] Maybe when I don't have so much going Or quite so many irons in the fire I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping But now I can't put forth the effort it requires I'd love to talk to you, but then I'd miss Donahue (updated version: but Springer's on at two) That's right, I got better things to do [Chorus] I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do [Chorus] Check the air in my tires Straighten my stereo wires Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do I got better things to do
