It Must Be Him

I tell myself what's done is done
I tell myself don't be a fool
Play the field have a lot of fun
It's easy when you play it cool

I tell myself don't be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away
That's when the phone rings and then I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray:

Let it please be him, dear God above
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die (I shall die)
Or I shall die (I shall die)

Hello, hello, dear God above
It must be him, but it's not him
And then I die (then I die)
That's when I die (that's when I die)

After a while, I'm myself again
I take the pieces about the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
You'll never hurt me anymore

I'm not a puppet on a string
I'll find somebody, somebody new someday
That's when the phone begins to ring,
And once again I start to pray:

Let it please be him, dear God above
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die (I shall die)
Or I shall die (I shall die)

Hello, hello, dear God above
It must be him, but it's not him
And then I die (then I die)
That's when I die (that's when I die)

Hello, hello, dear God above
It must be him, it must be him
Or I shall die (I'll surely die)
Or I shall die (I know I'll die)
