I'm all alone here watching it fall

TV's on but the sound's turned down

Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now

I oughta just let it ring

'Cause every time it's the damn thing

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no

He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

He left a message saying he was only fifteen minutes away

And that's just enough time for me to figure out if I should stay or leave

But if I think it through

I ain't got nothing better to do

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no

He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

He's at the front door now

With his magic smile

And he'll be gone tomorrow

But right now he's mine for a little while

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no

He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
