You tried to call me to see me last night.
You said you were lonely but time wasn't right.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.
She knows my ambitions, excuses allright.
But I can't be busy night after night.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.

I made you believe that I was alone
'til you heard that woman answer my phone.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.
And I was a fool when I thought you were blind,
But I can't help it, I'm one of that kind.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.

And I'm longing to see you,
I sure like to please you.
It's hard to forget you, but I feel that I have to.
For once in my life I'll quit hangin' round,
sure it ain't easy to break out for you.
For once in my life it won't get me down.

I thought it was easy to tell you my lies,
But I didn't dare when I looked in your eyes.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.

I know that you're lonely but I'm lonely too,
Breakin' up with her ain't easy to do.
Oh no, no. Oh no, no.

And I'm longing to see you,
I sure like to please you.
It's hard to forget you, but I feel that I have to.
For once in my life I'll quit hangin' round,
Sure it ain't easy to break out for you.
For once in my life it won't get me down.
