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 won't call she'll survive

And if he don't care she'll get by

Climb into bed bury her head and cry, cry

From the beginning he was all anyone could 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

She's always sitting, waiting wondering if the phone will ring

She knows she bounces like a yo-yo 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 way to move



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



She's determined to try, but she'll still give in when he gives her a call

And She'll ask herself why, but in the end it won't matter at all

Sure she could sit at home, stay inside

And sleep alone with her pride

And as she walks out her door, she feels as weak as before

With nothing to hide



(Repeat Chorus)
