[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
