i tell myself what's done is done

i tell myself don't be a fool

play the field have a lot of fun

it's easy when you play it cool



i tell myself don't be a chump

who cares, let him stay away

that's when the phone rings and i jump

and as i grab the phone i pray



let it please be him, oh dear god

it must be him or i shall die

or i shall die

oh hello, hello my dear god

it must be him but it's not him

and then i die

that's when i die



after a while, i'm myself again

i take the pieces off the floor

put my heart on the shelf again

you'll never hurt me anymore



i'm not a puppet on a string

i'll find somebody else someday

that's when the phone rings, and once again

i start to pray



let it please be him, oh dear god

it must be him , it must be him

or i shall die, or i shall die

oh hello, hello my dear god

it must be him but it's not him

and then i die

that's when i die
