When the Phone Stops Ringing

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never ever going to call me, no-no
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before

[Bridge]
How come they have to be so right all the time?
He was a special kind of guy
He said he'd call, now it's been two days
Now all I can hear is mama's words

[Chorus]
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never ever going to call me, no-no
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before

[Outro]
Gonna need a new sensation
Gonna need a new sensation
Gonna need a new sensation (it's over when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (over when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (it's over when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin')
Gonna need a new sensation (it's over when the phone stops ringin')
