Written by Ed Bruce, Miriam Silver



I can't believe your calling me

Did you run out of things to do

Are you bothered by my old memory

Has guilt got the best of you

I can't imagine what you'd want with me

You must have come up short tonight

But I thought you were happy being free

But your voice tells me that's not right

Guess things are tough all over

Even on the single side of town

I guess it's harder than you thought it be

Without my loving arms around

And now the beating of your lonely heart

Is the cold nights only sound

Guess things are tough all over

When old memories get you down

Well you ask me if I think about you

What are you expecting me to say



Well I do but I can live without you

It's too late to ask anyway

So if you're calling for sympathy

Cause I'm getting harder to forget

I won't be a one night remedy

To help you live with your regret

Guess things are tough all over

Even on the single side of town

I guess it's harder than you thought it be

Without my loving arms around

And now the beating of your lonely heart

Is the cold nights only sound

Guess things are tough all over

When old memories get you down
