I guess I figured out

That something was wrong

And that things have changed

Cause girl I sit by the phone

And I wait for your call

But the phone never rings

So I picked up the phone and called you at home

You're on the other line

I wanna talk to you maybe

Even see youyou say you have no time



You started doing things that

You never did beforehow could

Something so right turn out to be

Something so wrong



You thought the grass was greener

You thought the well had water

You thought that you could find a

Love another place

So how could you leave this good thing



We use to take long walks

And have longlong talks

On the telephone

You use to hold my hand in the

Shopping mallI felt I was your own

We stopped going out as much

I started feeling all alone

Girl you stopped telling me you loved me

Saying that you cared

But I still carried on



I thought we could work things out

But I just don't understand why

How could you leave someone patient

Like me for something so wrong



[chorus]



Even though youbroke my heart in two

I was just hanging ontrying to do what

Was right and you were already gone



[chorus]



When love came you went away

And if I see you again

Girl I would ask you how could you

Leave this good thing
