1.
The 'phone won't ring but I don't mind
'Cause since that woman said good-bye
I'm not around at night to take the call
She said our time had come and gone,
That she was sorry from now on
She didn't have no use for me at all
CHORUS:
I got the message, I think I understand
She just got tired of lovin' just one man
She ain't to blame, can't you see
It's hard for a girl with a love like hers
To love a man like me
2.
So tonight I think I'll go down town
And have myself a look around
I know I'll find me someone else to hold
That woman said she's through with me
But I don't need no memory
To keep me warm at night when it gets cold
CHORUS
3.
I've been in love a time or two
So listen what I'm tellin' you
Before you tell some girl you love her so
Make sure that you both understand
That she'll be lovin' just one man
'Cause it takes more than love to make love grow
CHORUS
