[00:11.10]She says she hates to sleep alone, but she'll do it to night
[00:30.68]She wants to grab her telephone, but she knows it ain't right
[00:37.48]So if he won't call, she'll survive, and if he don't care, she'll get by
[00:46.62]Climb into bed, bury her head, and cry
[00:57.73]From the beginning he was all anyone could have been
[01:09.12]They were delirious with love; they were certain to win
[01:15.21]Now he's breaking plans more and more, and he's leaving notes on her door
[01:25.09]Took a trip out of town, couldn't turn this one down;
[01:30.01]He said, "I guess I should have told you before."
[01:36.03]She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing,
[01:41.47]Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring,
[01:46.15]She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string,
[01:51.02]It hurts to feel like such a fool.
[01:55.82]She wants to tell him not to call or come a round again,
[02:00.48]He doesn't need her now at all the way that she needs him.
[02:05.99]She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in,
[02:12.80]And she don't know which way to move.
[02:15.93]She wants to be fair; she couldn't say he was ever unkind,
[02:27.96]But if she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind
[02:36.66]'Cause he just keeps himself so apart and there's no one else in her heart,
[02:46.49]So she's taking a dive from an emotional high and coming down hard.
[02:57.72]She's determined to try, but she'll still give in when he gives her a call.
[03:43.18]She'll ask herself why, but in the end it won't matter at all.
[03:43.78]Sure, she could sit at home, stay inside and sleep alone with her pride
[03:44.36]And as she walks out that door, she feels as weak as before with nothing to hide.
[03:44.83]She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing,
[03:45.63]Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring,
[03:46.34]She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string,
[03:46.87]It hurts to feel like such a fool.
[03:47.45]She wants to tell him not to call or come a round again,
[03:48.29]He doesn't need her now at all the way that she needs him.
[03:48.88]She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in,
[03:49.33]And she don't know which way to move.
[03:49.86]She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing,
[03:50.30]Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring,
[03:50.87]She knows she bounces like a yo-yo when he pulls her string,
[03:51.38]It hurts to feel like such a fool.
[03:51.91]And she don't know which way to move.
[03:58.27]It hurts to feel like such a fool.
