Not a word is spoken as she's putting on her makeup And I smell that perfume and it takes me To a time when she wore it just for me Knowing her, she thinks I'll hang around here 'til she gets home She thinks I don't mind being here alone She finds her purse and fumbles for her keys She don't know (she don't know) 'Cross town, there's a lady I've been seeing And on certain nights, when all I feel is human When that lonely woman feels like using me I could go (go) and know she wouldn't want me once I've had her I could sit and wait up for the one that matters It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be But I love the one that just pulled off my ring But I need the one who doesn't mean a thing And I don't wanna leave, don't wanna stay Knowing I'll be losing either way The telephone and silence waits for me to make that call Our wedding picture hangs there on the wall Looking down on what any fool can see It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
