It Wasn't Him
The clock on the wall told me where he was
It wasn't all that late
I got his number from information
But dialing was my first mistake
It'd been a while, and I missed his smile
I missed just having him around
But when that phone was answered
My heart shattered at the sound
It wasn't him, it was a her
I couldn't believe what I heard
She turned his lines all into lies
And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
I knew that I should answer her
But I just hung up quick instead
While a thousand explanations
Bounced around inside my head
The operator she gave me
That same number the second time
So I dialed again, 'cause I was quite convinced
That the mistake must have been mine
It wasn't him, it was a her
I couldn't believe what I heard
She turned his lines all into lies
And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
He told me all about his history
He told the story of his life
He talked about his hopes
He talked about his fear
He just forgot about his wife
Now that was a long time ago
And I'm a little less naïve
I'm much quicker to be leery
And I am slower to believe
But a lesson learned
In your memory burns
And I will not soon forget
When that man crosses my mind
That's what I remember yet
It wasn't him it was a her
I couldn't believe what I heard
She turned his lines all into lies
And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
It wasn't all that late
I got his number from information
But dialing was my first mistake
It'd been a while, and I missed his smile
I missed just having him around
But when that phone was answered
My heart shattered at the sound
It wasn't him, it was a her
I couldn't believe what I heard
She turned his lines all into lies
And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
I knew that I should answer her
But I just hung up quick instead
While a thousand explanations
Bounced around inside my head
The operator she gave me
That same number the second time
So I dialed again, 'cause I was quite convinced
That the mistake must have been mine
It wasn't him, it was a her
I couldn't believe what I heard
She turned his lines all into lies
And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
He told me all about his history

And I'm a little less naïve

And she had only said one word
How could it be for all that we had shared
He didn't mention one small thing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
He never broke my heart
Until the telephone quit ringing
