A heart wrenching ballad, this song's strength lies in its powerful lyrics. Victor claimed the phrase, ‘Call me if you need me. Don’t call just to say ‘hello’’ as his own. A sentiment that each of us has wanted to express at some point in our lives.
A past love sent me a valetine's day card and made plans with me to get together. At the last minute she cancelled and I never saw her again.
The last verse of the song came about from a misunderstanding among a couple of guys in the band (you know who you are, LOL)
Fifty Percent Sincere
You said you’d be over soon,
I scrubbed all the walls for you.
You called me up, you’re on the moon.
It only takes one night to change your tune,
The Valentine you sent to me
Still sits there on the shelf.
I don’t want you for my valentine
If I can’t have you for myself.
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand,
But I know it would hurt so.
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand.
The looks you think I give to you
Are nothing but subconscious playing
tricks on you.
I never said a thing
that didn’t have praise for you
So why don’t you just let it roll,
And not let it bother you?
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand,
But I know it would hurt so.
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand.
The Valentine you sent to me
Still sits there on the shelf.
I don’t want you for my valentine
If I can’t have you for myself.
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand,
But I know it would hurt so.
Call me if you need me,
Don’t call just to say “Hello”
I’d like to know just where I stand.
