|
You're sitting there cryin' at home |
|
Waiting by the telephone |
|
He's our runnin' around |
|
Thinking that you'll never know |
|
But you've played this game before |
|
He breaks your heart again |
|
You take him back and then it's over |
|
Almost over |
|
Except the loneliness |
|
Of a long distance love |
|
He looks for |
|
Happiness |
|
In the arms of another |
|
Tell me |
|
How many teardrops will fall |
|
While you're waiting for that telephone call |
|
That never comes |
|
It never comes |
|
You feel so alone |
|
Especially when the night comes |
|
So you go out |
|
Hoping that you'll meet someone |
|
To kill this pain inside |
|
You let him take you home |
|
And all the pain is gone away |
|
But in the light of day |
|
You see the |
|
Loneliness |
|
Of a long distance love |
|
You look for tenderness |
|
In the arms of another |
|
Tell me |
|
How many teardrops will fall |
|
While he's waiting for tat telephone call |
|
That never comes |
|
It never comes |
|
You still believe in the happy ever after |
|
After the pain comes the love and the laughter |
|
So you wait in vain and you wonder |
|
Why it never comes |
|
It never comes |
|
