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
