Betty Carter - Social Call Lyrics

I happened to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I thought much about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call

Soon you'll recall the old days
We used to have a ball
It's not that I'm lonesome without you
I just thought I'd pay a social call

I'd lie and say things are just swell
But to tell the truth
I haven't been too well

So if you should try to kiss me,
I promise I won't stall
But maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call

I'd lie and say things are just swell
But, to tell the truth
I haven't been too well

But if you should try to kiss me
I promise I'll give it a
And maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call
