Eighth Wonder - When The Phone Stops Ringing 1987

He said to me tonight “Why stay? They only tell you lies“ Is it a dream? My conscience tells me he’s just make believe Don’t be a fool for boys, it’s only common sense So mama says, “Use your head Can’t you tell he’s got you hypnotized and paralyzed? And I see trouble up ahead“ It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s never ever going to call me, no It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s done this kind of thing to girls before I try to memorize just how he kissed me When we said goodnight, so sincere He said, “You see, I’m gonna be a millionaire“ My friends only laugh, they oh so cute to call him names Like “Howard Hughes“ in front of me They investigate and confiscate my privacy They act like it’s all a game It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s never ever going to call me, no-no It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s done this kind of thing to girls before How come they have to be so right all the time? He was a special kind of guy He said he’d call, now it’s been two days Now all I can hear is mama’s words It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s never ever going to call me, no-no It’s over when the phone stops ringing He’s done this kind of thing to girls before Gonna need a new sensation Gonna need a new sensation Gonna need a new sensation (it’s over when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (over when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (it’s over when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (when the phone stops ringin’) Gonna need a new sensation (it’s over when the phone stops ringin’)
