I sent you a postcard
Thought it would be funny
Would have sent a souvenir
But they took all my money
It's pretty warm down here but it ain't sunny
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I tried to call you
I tried to call you
Long distance operators that only stall you
Besides the damn rates are so high
They just appall you
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
It started out a nice vacation
Left the station right on time
Can't get a ticket to get me home, dear
They just don't have too many flights from twilight zone, dear
So don't forget to feed my cats
Spot and Jerome, dear
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Seeing all the sights here
I'm getting lonely
I'd show you all the film I took if they would only
Let me go home
Dear, sincerely
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were hereWords and Music by Rick Nielsen
You say jump, I said how high
You say no, I don't ask why
You treat me like a fool, like you do
Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' all alone tonight, well
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight
Second verse
All dressed up no place to go
I say yes and you say no
What's goin' on
I really want to know
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight
I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I think I'm losing my mind
I've felt this way for years
I'm the one who really cares
Don't leave me here on my own
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I'm sittin' all alone tonight
Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' here on my own
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
