The last thing I expected was to get her call tonight 'Cause the last thing that I'd heard from her Was she'd found Mr. Right But when I came home this evening There it was on my machine Now I'm just wondering what the hell it means [Chorus:] She said she's sorry that she missed me and she's been doing just fine I've run it back and heard her say Those words a hundred times But something makes me wonder Is she happy with her choice or is that a tear I hear in her voice ___ The first time that I listened I thought Boy she's got some nerve But the second time I heard it I heard more than just her words Am I just wishful thinkin or did her voice really crack I'll never know if I don't call her back (Repeat Chorus) (Tag) Oh is that a tear Lord is that a tear I hear in her voice
