It's 3am the phone is ringing
"Won't you come over?"
You shower, shave, you comb your hair
And you'll soon be there
He's been drinking all night long and you're still sober
He tells you all you wanna hear
And then takes you to his room
But take it
For what it is
Go on and take it
For what it isn't
Take it
For what it is
Go on and take it
For what it isn't
Two weeks go by and still no sign
"Why won't he call me?"
You cry yourself to sleep one night
And then the phone will ring
But take it
For what it is
Go on and take it
For what it isn't
Take it
For what it is
Go on and take it
For what it isn't
'Cause if he doesn't love you
He'll never love you
If he doesn't love you
He'll never change
If he doesn't love you
He'll never love you
And you'll keep going
On doing the same old thing
Take it, oh
Take it, oh
Take it
Oh
Everytime he calls I fall, I fall
Everytime he calls, everytime he calls
Everytime he calls I fall, I fall
Everytime he calls, everytime he calls
So take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
If he doesn't love you
He'll never love you
If he doesn't love you
He'll never change
If he doesn't love you
He'll never love you
And you'll keep going
On doing the same old things
