Eighth Wonder

(Holly Knight/Bernie Taupin)
He said to me tonight
Why stay when I only tell you lies
Is it a dream
My conscience tells me he's just make believe
Don't be a fool for boys
It's only common sense
So mama says use your head
Can't you tell he's got you hypnotized, paralysed
And I see trouble up ahead
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never, ever going to call me up
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before
I tried to memorize
Just how he kissed me when we said goodnight
So sincere he said you see I'm going to be a millionaire
My friends only laughed
They think it's, oh, so cute
To call him names, like how it feels in front of me
They investigate and confiscate my privacy
They act like it's all a game
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never, ever going to call me up
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before
And how come they have to be so right all of the time
Oh he was a special kind of guy
He said he'll call but it's been two days
Now all I can hear is mama's words
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's never, ever going to call me up
It's over when the phone stops ringing
He's done this kind of thing to girls before.
