I've been waiting for the phone to ring I've been waiting for a knock on the door But I'm beginning to think you're not around no more It took a long time to make up your mind but you meant it this time I've been waiting for the phone to ring I've been waiting for a knock on the door But I'm beginning to think you're not around no more It took a long time to make up your mind but you meant it this time This time it's going to be bad This time it's going to be sad This time you must have decided this was no life and you just couldn't hide it And a colour plate queen in a fashion magazine said hey girl you could be me Well the band was playing and the stage was bright And the conversation was sweet and hot Hey girl you have come a long way since Emily and that day at the races This time it's going to be bad This time it's going to be sad This time you must have decided this was no life and you just couldn't hide it And a colour plate queen in a fashion magazine said hey girl you could be me Well I've been waiting so long this time Really has gone wrong this time Not even a letter no no no no This time No one on the t t t telephone this time I never thought it would happen this time Woo how it happened this time
