Hello darlin', I knew it was you
(Hello Loretta)
(Loretta there's something I just got to tell you)

Oh, please tell me what to do
(I don't really know how to say this but I want to tell you that I)
You gave me the will to go on as soon as I picked up the phone
(No no, you don't understand Loretta, I'm trying to tell you that I)

The talk is around that we're through
(Yeah, I know I've heard it too)
Oh darling, tell me what to do
(But that's just it that's what I'm trying to tell you, I wanna tell you that)

I knew, you'd tell me they were wrong as soon as I picked up the phone
(Oh, but it's true they're not wrong)
Oh no, oh no, I can't believe that it's true
(I'm sorry Loretta)
(I'm sorry Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)

Oh no, oh no, I can't believe that we're through
(I know you know that I never thought it would come to this)
You tell me it's over and done
(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)

You say that you've had all your fun
(You've just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you)
But I can't believe, you've been gone
(This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too)

As soon as I hang up the phone
(Yeah, I'll be gone)
As soon as I hang up the phone
(Goodbye Loretta)
