[Chorus:]
If I talk to him 
I take him back again 
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home
He's gone again I told him we were through
That he could live his life the way he wanted to
I said my love for him had died but I know it's not true
And if I talk to him my feelings would show through
Yes if I talk to him 
I take him back again 
I'm afraid to even answer the phone
Cause if I talk to him 
I take him back again
So if he calls please tell him I'm not home
I tell my heart I'm better off without him now
But like the other times he change my mind somehow
He'd shed some tears and talk sweet talk I'm sure that I believe
But this time it's the end if he'll just let me be
