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
