My ex-wife had a friend named Donna, who I always referred to as “Missus.” This was before cellphones, so the house phone (remember when those were a thing) would ring constantly. Somehow this song resulted.

I tried to call Donna last night
There was no answer
I wonder what that means
Maybe she was out of town
Or maybe she was in the tub
Maybe she has Caller ID

Maybe it’s because
She’s gotten over me
If she was ever into me at all

I used to call her Mrs.
It was a Spanish thing
But she was not impressed
I guess she has moved on
She didn’t have that far to go
To put me in her past

Maybe it’s because
She’s gotten over me
If she was ever into me at all

I wonder if she was ever into me at all
It’s so hard to tell if she won’t take my call

Maybe it’s because
She’s gotten over me
If she was ever into me at all
