Friday night and its snowing outside I'm all alone here watching it fall TVs on but the sounds turned down Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now I oughta just let it ring 'Cause every time it's the same damn thing Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? He left a message saying he was only fifteen minutes away And that's just enough time for me to figure out if I should stay or leave But if I think it through I ain't got nothing better than you Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no He swears that its gonna be different this time but it won't be Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? He's at the front door now With his magic smile And he'll be gone tomorrow But right now he's mine for a little while Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely? Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
