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 a boy
It's only common sense
So mama says, use your head
Can't you tell he's got you hypnotised and paralyzed
And I see trouble up ahead
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never ever going to call no more
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before

I tried to memorize
Just how he kissed me when we said goodnight
So sincere
He said, "You'll see I'm gonna be a millionaire"
My friends only laugh
They think it's 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 more
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before
Now how come they have to be so right all the time
He was a special kind of shy
He said he'd call
Now it's been two days
Now all I hear is mama's words

It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never ever going to call no more
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before
