You say that it's over this time for good
But this time around you know that I wish
That you would not call me on the phone
I need to get used to being alone
Now you tell me you want me to be your friend
Don't you know I'll be your fool again
You say now you're gone and you won't be back
This time around I'm just a little bit smarter than that
Just because you've packed your bags
That doesn't mean that you won't return
That's the lesson I learned the last time I let you back in
Don't you know I'll be your fool again

My friends tell me that they doubt it
When I tell them I can learn to live without it
They say it's a game that I can't win
So you say you found a new man and he treats you fine
You say he brings you flowers and bottles of cheap red wine
You say you like the way he wears his hair
But don't you know I wouldn't care if you ever walk out on him
Don't you know I'll be your fool again
