Depressing Song of the week

Addicted

(Cheryl Wheeler)

She says she hates to sleep alone, but she'll do it tonight

She wants to grab her telephone, but she knows it ain't right

So if he don't call, she'll survive

So if he don't care, she'll get by

Climb into bed, bury her head, and cry

*

From the beginning he was all anyone could've been

They were delirious with love, they were certain to win

Now he's breaking plans more and more

And he's leaving notes on her door

Took a trip out of town, couldn't turn this one down

He said I guess I should have told you before

*

Chorus

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing

Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring

She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string

It hurts to feel like such a fool

She wants to tell him not to call or come around again

He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him

She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in

And she don't know which was to move oh no

*

She wants to be fair

She couldn't say he was ever unkind

But if she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind

Cause he just keeps himself so apart

And there's no one else in her heart

So she's taking a dive from an emotional high and coming down hard

*

Chorus

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing

Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring

She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string

It hurts to feel like such a fool

She wants to tell him not to call or come around again

He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him

She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in

And she don't know which was to move oh no

*

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing

Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring

She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string

It hurts to feel like such a fool

She don't know which way to move

It hurts to feel like such a fool
