She called me up right out of the blue
I hadn't heard from her, I guess, in a year or two
But the sound of her voice on that little machine
Has got me thinking crazy things

Like running away from everything
Turning my back on hopes and dreams
Just to hold her
Like breaking the heart of the one I love
Or caring about what I'm giving up
Just to hold her
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?

She said, "Let's reminisce about old times
You know the number here, room 209"
But I erased that message so I could think it through
And realized there are things a man can't do

Like running away from everything
Turning my back on hopes and dreams
Just to hold her
Like breaking the heart of the one I love
Or caring about what I'm giving up
Just to hold her
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?
