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 I jump

And as I grab the phone, I pray

Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die, or I shall die

Oh hello, hello, my dear God

It must be him but it's not him

And then I die, that's when I die

After a while I'm myself again

I pick the pieces off 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 else someday

That's when the phone rings

And once again I start to pray

Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him , it must be him

Or I shall die, or I shall die

Oh hello, hello, my dear God

It must be him but it's not him

And then I die, again I die

Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him , it must be him

Or I shall die, or I shall die
