My fingers tremble as I slowly touch the phone I dial your number not knowing if your own It rings you answer with sweet hello My heart beats loudly as the teardrops start to flow. I bite my lip until the blood runs free And keep the words I love you hidden deep deep inside of me I hang up wrong number I hear you tell your friend But I just had to hear you talkin' once again. And divisible was the word for you and me But just one word in a just one moment will change happiness into misery You hang up again and I know what you will say Wrong number, that's the second time today. Wrong number, that's the second time today
