I promised it would never come between

Was lying when I said it never meant a thing

That it was once before

And really, I never felt that she was in my grasp

I settled for a second choice back in my past

So tell me, do you know

That I think of somebody else?

When I feel alone

I sit by the phone

'Cause I'm just waiting

For somebody else

Every single night

I dream all the time

'Cause I've been dreaming

Of somebody else

I'm sort of praying for another fight

Sort of hope you'll leave me out of spite

And we'd be once before

The tenses change from present to the past

Kind of hoped that we would never last

So tell me, do you know

That I think of somebody else?

When I feel alone

I sit by the phone

'Cause I'm just waiting

For somebody else

Every single night

I dream all the time

'Cause I've been dreaming

Of somebody else

Ohh

Ohh
