Guess I should accept the call

But I really don't know what to say

The operator wont let me talk at all

And she says you want me to pay

Oh well it ain't nothin new

It fits right with my picture of you

But tonight you're gonna find out

What these tears are all about

[Chorus:]

'Cause this old flame went out

You never thought you'd be the one

In the darkness now

I think you know what I'm talkin about

This old flame went out

You went to get cigarettes

That was last July, you didn't get home yet

And now you expect me to hear you out

You call me collect, there ain't no doubt

[Chorus]

What do you mean, how can I do this to you?

Lets not forget who walked out on who

[Chorus]
