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 Lawd oh 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
[ guitar ]
But you never write me
(Oh I wish it was mine)
