lyrics

You said that you would call me
You acted real sincere
I thought we'd get together
I thought we'd have a beer
We'd talk about what matters
A little chit and chat
You'd say what was on your mind
And I'd tell you where I'm at
But then you left me flat

Hell is other people

You said you kinda liked me
You wanted to hang out
I thought you really meant it
Why would I have some doubt
But then you disappeared, gone without a trace
How could I be taken in
By the earnestness in your face
Fie on the human race

What are you really thinking
I guess a lot of hooey
And so I say to you, phooey, phooey!

You said want my email
And we should see each other soon
I said why don't we shoot
For tomorrow at noon
You said you'd check your schedule
To see if you were clear
I thought you really meant it
And once again you looked sincere
But you were not my dear

What goes on inside your head
I really am quite curious
'Cause the way you leave me in the lurch
Makes me furious, furious
