She says she hates to sleep alone but she'll do it tonight
she wants to grab her telephone but she knows it ain't right
so if he won't call she'll survive
and if he don't care she'll get by
climb into bed bury her head and cry, cry
from the beginning he was all anyone could been
they were delirious with love, they were certain to win
now he's breaking plans more and more
and he's leaving notes on her door
'took a trip out of town, couldn't turn this one down'
he said 'i guess i should have told you before'
(chorus)
she says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
she's always sitting, waiting wondering if the phone will ring
she knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string
it hurts to feel like such a fool
she wants to tell him not to call or come around again
he doesn't need her now at all the way that she needs him
she's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in
and she don't know which way to move
She wants to be fair, she couldn't say he was ever unkind
but if she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind
'cause he just keeps himself so apart
and there's no one else in her heart
so she's taking a dive from an emotional high
and coming down hard
She's determined to try, but she'll still give in when he gives her a call
and she'll ask herself why, but in the end it won't matter at all
sure she could sit at home, stay inside
and sleep alone with her pride
and as she walks out her door, she feels as weak as before
with nothing to hide
(repeat chorus)
