Take A Message (Album Version) - James Cotton

Written by：Dave Steen

Everytime I'm relaxing the telephone rings

Man it's really getting to me I really hate that thing

Take a message baby just tell 'em I'm not home

Yeah those telephone people

They just don't leave you alone

It might be the neighbor the insurance man

It could be the boss man girl I just don't

Give a d*mn

Take a message baby tell 'em all that I'm up to date

I just don't feel much like talking

Nobody listens anyway makes me so mad

Everytime me and my baby is getting' in the groove

The telephone rings and it blows my attitude

Take a message baby just tell 'em I'm not here

You can tell 'em all the same thing

Yeah when they call me back again

That telephone keep on ringing if I get one more call

Gonna take my 10pound hammer knock it right off the Wall

Take a message baby just tell 'em I'm not home

Yeah the nerve of some people

They just don't leave you alone

Everytime me and my baby is getting' in the mood

The telephone rings and it blows my attitude

Take a message baby just tell 'em I'm not here

You can tell 'em all the same thing

Yeah when they call me back again

That telephone keep on ringing if I get one more call

Gonna take my 10pound hammer knock it right off the Wall

Take a message baby just tell 'em I'm not home

Yeah the nerve of some people

They just don't leave you alone
