       Roland Kent LaVoie(born July 31, 1943), better known by his stage name Lobo(which is a Spanish word for wolf), is an American singer-songwriter who was successful in the 1970s, scoring several U.S. Top 10 hits including "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", "I'd Love You to Want Me", and "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend". These three songs, along with "Where Were You When I Was Falling in Love", gave Lobo four chart toppers on the Easy Listening/Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

        Calumet is the third album by Lobo, released in 1973 on Big Tree Records. It was reissued in 2008 by Wounded Bird Records and includes six bonus tracks.

The album peaked at Nº 128 on the US Top LPs chart. Two of its singles were top 30 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and top 5 hits on the Easy Listening chart. "There Ain't No Way" and its B-side "Love Me For What I Am" were minor hits on the Hot 100.

If the time should ever come

That you feel our race is run

And you're old brass bed's the only

thing that we share

If you think our ships come in

Let's just break it off my friend

Cause nothings worse than playing like you care.

 

There's nothing that's so final about leaving

Even though I know that's what you've heard

Just like forgive, forget and try again

Goodbye is just another word.

 

If you feel the time is right

And you sneak off in the night

And live out all those stories in your head

When your shiny knight goes home

And you're left there all alone

And you need a friend remember what I said.
