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 pick 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 Again I die Let it please be him, oh dear God It must be him, it must be him Or I shall die, or I shall die
