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
It must be him
Or I shall die
Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello
Oh 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 pick the pieces
off the floor
Put my heart
on the shelf again
He'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
Again I die
And then I die
again I die
