Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if I'm alright since you've been gone
Cuz 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've got better thing to do

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've got better things to do

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
Well I'd love to talk to you but then I'd miss Donahue
That's right I've got better things to do

(REPEAT 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've got better things to do
I've got better things to do yeah
