Roky Erickson - Nothing In Return lyrics

I call your name in the midnight but you don't hear me at all I love you so dearly and nearly but you don't love me at all There's nothing in this big round world that worse hurts Than paying out and receiving nothing in return EVery day and night I dial your number But you never answer the phone Are you really not there when I call you Where could you so much chance to roam There's nothing in this big round world that worse hurts Than paying out and receiving nothing in return I searched you out found your name fast But my name you never seemed to have caught How in this world can I date you When you won't give me a thought There's nothing in this big round world that worse hurts Than paying out and receiving nothing in return If I only knew how to get you But I've tried all I know And failed except for loving you so I am writing for no love Cyrano, Cyrano It used to be I'd look into a crystal ball To see and know futures all But the Gypsy said the gaze lacked feeling The picture was relatively cloudy So I changed the clearness of the reeling If I only knew how to get you But I've tried all I know And failed except for loving you so I fell like writing for no love Cyrano But the hunchback Quasimodo But the hunchback of Notre Dame Was at least in the same play and on the same stage
