Now It's up To Me to Bow out Gracefully

I was startled by a song:

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around

It was my phone. I answered it:

"Hello?"
"Hi, Stevie. Whatcha doin'?"

It was my mom. I answered her:

"Nothing. Just getting ready for bed."
"What?"
"Yeah."
"It's nine-thirty. On a Friday night, Stephen!"
"I know. I'm a swinger, ma."
"Obviously."
"Yup. I'm putting myself out there. Maybe I'll meet someone."
