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 dont be a chump
Who cares, let her stay away
That's when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Let it please be her Oh, dear Lord,
it must be her, it must be her
Or I shall die, or I shall die.
Oh, Lord, oh Lord, oh dear Lord,
It must be her, but it's not her
That's when 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
Ill find somebody else someday
That's when the phone ring
And once again I start to pray.
Let it please be her, oh, dear Lord,
It must be her,it must be her
Or I shall die, or I shall die
Oh hello, hello, my dear Lord,
It must be her, but it's not her
that's when I die that's when I die
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 dont be a chump
Who cares, let her stay away
That's when the phone rings and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Let it please be her Oh, dear Lord,
it must be her, it must be her
Or I shall die, or I shall die.
Oh, Lord, oh Lord, oh dear Lord,
It must be her, but it's not her
That's when 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
Ill find somebody else someday
That's when the phone ring
And once again I start to pray.
Let it please be her, oh, dear Lord,
It must be her,it must be her
Or I shall die, or I shall die
Oh hello, hello, my dear Lord,
It must be her, but it's not her
that's when I die that's when I die
