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, and then I die
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die, or I shall die
