| 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 |
