You tried to call me to see me last night
you said you were lonely but time wasn't right
oh no no - oh no no
she knows my ambitions excuses alright
but I can't be busy night after night
oh no no - oh no no

I made you believe that I was alone
til you heard that woman answer my phone
oh no no - oh no no
and I was a fool when I thought you were blind
but I can't help it I'm one of that kind
oh no no - oh no no

And I'm longing to see you - I'd sure like to please you
it's hard to forget you - but I feel that I have to
for once in my life - I'll quit hangin' round
(shure it ain't easy to break with you)
for once in my life - it won't get me down
(no it won't get me down)

I thought it was easy to tell you my lies
I didn't dare when I looked in your eyes
oh no no - oh no no
I know that you're lonely but I'm lonely too
breakin' up with her ain't easy to do
oh no no - oh no no
