[Verse 1]
Friday night and it's snowin' outside
I'm all alone here watching it fall
TV's on but the sounds turned down
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now

[Pre-Chorus]
I oughta just let it ring
'Cause every time it's the damn thing

[Chorus]
Why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?
He's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He'll swear that it's gonna be different this time, but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?

[Verse 2]
He left a message sayin' he was only fifteen minutes away
And that's just enough time for me to figure out if I should stay or leave
But if I think it through
I ain't got nothing better than you

[Chorus]
Why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?
He's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
He'll swear that it's gonna be different this time, but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?
[Bridge]
He's at the front door now
With his magic smile
And he'll be gone tomorrow
But right now he's mine for a little while

[Chorus]
Oh, why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?
He's so wrong to be leading me on when I can't say no
Well, he swears that it's gonna be different this time, but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?

[Outro]
Oh, why's he always gotta be callin' me when I'm lonely?
