You are close to me and you?re so far
And I?m thinking of the time we spent together
Now I?ll bury this in my backyard
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I?ll never dial your number ?cause

I?m having fun looking out for number one
And I?m doing all the things I like to do
I?m having fun ?cause I knew it all along
I?d be better off without you

You are guilty, pretty, high and low
You?re a place to stay and a time to go
And I?m searching through the things you left behind here
Now it?s time for me to let it go
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I?ll never dial that number ?cause

I?m having fun looking out for number one
And I?m doing all the things I like to do
I?m having fun ?cause I knew it all along
I?d be better off without you

Late at night you pick up the telephone
Call me up and cry ?cause you?re all alone I don?t care
Apologize for taking my cigarettes
Now it?s time to feel all the side effects
Missing the life you had
