Reality calls
And I just let it ring
In the middle of fall
I'm still dressed for spring
My voice is gone
And I'm still trying to sing
Reality calls
And I just let it ring
She's the finest of all
The girls I've seen
But she gets what she wants
And that's everything
She tastes so sweet
But Lord, she's mean to me
Reality calls
And I just let it ring
It's not that I can't hear the screaming in my ears
'Cause it's coming through loud and clear
That I need something real
And she only wants a fling
Reality calls
And I just let it ring
Reality calls
And I just let it ring
