Only because I am lonely
That is why I'm calling you
Don't ever think that I love you
Oh dear, this has got nothing with love to do
So I'm waiting, waiting
for you to pick up the phone
It's a coincidence that I on a Friday night
sit here all alone

Only because I look older
Boys they don't dear to ask me out
That's what my mummy has told me
She must be right in that fact
In fact I have no doubt
Though it's boring, boring
To see all my girlfriends have fun
Boys date them to get to know me
That's how it comes
that I do have none

And when you pick up the phone
And say hello who's there?
I present me as the girl of your dreams
Well, who is that, who's she?
Oh, don't play hard to get, silly, that's me
(Hard to get, silly, that's me
Hard to get, silly, that's me
Hard to get, silly, that's me)

Only because you get speechless
Can't find the right words to say
when you hear who it is
That's why you hang up
don't know how to act
But that you're crazy for me
oh, that is a fact
I don't worry, worry
You will call me up again
It will take some time
Though I will wait
First you have to inform your friends

So I'm waiting, waiting
for you to pick up the phone
It's a coincidence that I on a Friday night
sit here all alone
And it's boring, boring
To see all my girlfriends have fun
Boys date them to get to know me
That's how it comes
that I do have none
