Not for nothing at all   Not for nothing did I call   Reason is, you’re often appalled   Hold on now John you never seemed cold   I thought you were in love   Then I guess that you’re not   Ah but then the first thing you wrote,   Was hold on now John, hold on now John now hold on      You don’t answer when I call   You don’t answer then   You don’t answer when I call   Leave yourself alone   Leave yourself alone      Cabbages and kings in your dreams   These are your dreams   Maybe they’re not quite what they seem   Hold on now John, the blame is undone.   Wash up the air, don’t drive that car   Never learn to play the guitar   And leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone   Leave yourself alone, and leave yourself alone      You don’t answer when I call   You don’t answer then   You don’t answer when I call   Leave yourself alone   Leave yourself alone      Sweeping up the ashes of rock   Sweeping up the ashes of roll   Years begin to take up their toll   Though not for some, you’ve never seemed cold      You don’t answer when I call   You don’t answer then   You don’t answer when I call   Leave yourself alone   Leave yourself alone
