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 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

Let it please be him oh dear God

It must be him it must be him

Or I shall die
