Somewhere a telephone is ringing right now
Someone's old sweetheart is on the line
She's calling to patch up an old love affair oh I wish it was mine
Somebody's writing a letter right now and saying oh Lawd I was blind
Somebody's darling longs to come home oh I wish it was mine
But you never write me and you never phone there's somebody else on your mind
And somebody's heart is glad you don't love me oh I wish it was mine
[ strings ]
You never write me and you never phone there's somebody else on your mind
And somebody's heart is glad that you left me oh I wish it was mine
Oh I wish it was mine
