She says she hates to sleep alone

but she'll do it to night

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

From the beginning he was all

Anyone could have 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."

She says she feels like she's

addicted to a real bad thing,

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 a round 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.

Oh noooo.

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 says she feels like she's

addicted to a real bad thing,

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 a round 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 says she feels like she's

addicted to a real bad thing,

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. Wo O

And she don't know which way to move. Wo

It hurts to feel like such a fool.
