It's five o'clock in the mornin'
The telephone's ringin'
Too early to be callin'
& it's too late
A voice says
"Can I come over?"
A voice inside me says "It's over"
But, then, I hear me answer
"Yes, it's alright."
I don't think
I'll ever understand
Why you hurt the one that really loves you
I don't want
You hangin' around my door
Your "I love you"s don't mean nothin' anymore
I cried one too many times for you before
Now I ain't gonna cry no more
Oh, baby, you're on your way
But, my time, it's drawin' near
Will I say what's on my mind?
Or, whisper words you wanna hear?
But, I don't think
I'll ever understand
Why you hurt the one that really loves you
I don't want
You hangin' around my door
Your "I love you"s don't mean nothin' anymore
I cried one too many times for you before
Now I ain't gonna cry no more
