When the Phone Stops Ringing

He said to me tonight

"Why stay? They only tell you lies"

Is it a dream?

My conscience tells me he's just make believe

Don't be a fool for boys, it's only common sense

So mama says, "Use your head

Can't you tell? He's got you hypnotized and paralyzed

And I see trouble up ahead"

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's never ever going to call me, no

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's done this kind of thing to girls before

(Phone stops ringing)

(Phone stops ringing)

I try to memorize just how he kissed me

When we said goodnight, so sincere

He said, "You see, I'm gonna be a millionaire"

My friends only laugh, they oh so cute to call him names

Like "Howard Hughes" in front of me

They investigate and confiscate my privacy

They act like it's all a game

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's never ever going to call, no-no

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's done this kind of thing to girls before

(How come they, how come they)

How come they have to be so right all the time?

(How come they have to be so right all of the time?)

He was a special kind of guy

He said he'd call, now it's been two days

(How come they, how come they)

Now all I can hear is mama's words

(Mama's words, mama's words, mama's words)

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's never ever going to call, no-no

It's over when the phone stops ringing

He's done this kind of thing to girls before
