[Verse 1]
Friday night and it's snowing outside
I'm all alone here watching it fall
TV's on but the sounds turned down
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now
I oughta just let it ring
Because every time it's the damn thing
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Outro]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
Friday night and it's snowing outside
I'm all alone here watching it fall
TV's on but the sounds turned down
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now
I oughta just let it ring
Because every time it's the damn thing
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He swears that it's going to be different this time, but he won't be
Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
[Outro]
Why is he always got to be calling me when I'm lonely?
