They say she’s trying to get a hold of me
That she’s not the woman she once was
She’s telling all her friends now she misses me
I’ll bet she does

I turned off my phone a week ago
She sent a friend over today
I said, “It’s over, please don’t waste my time.”
But she said it anyway:

“She misses you
You can see it in her eyes and besides
She told me so
Is there anything
You want to whisper to her
Now that she wants again what once was
She says she misses you.”
I bet she does

I won’t deny that I still think of her
And I’m not trying to be cruel
But I won’t trick my humbled heart again
And I’ll no longer play the fool

She misses me
Now there’s nobody to hold her in the night
And say it’s all right
Did she realize
After running off to him
That it’s me after all who she loves
She says she misses me
I bet she does
She says she misses me
I bet she does
