Telephone Song

I'm sitting here drinking, got the telephone ringing
 Baby, I know it's you there on the line
 Well just leave a message at the tone
 'Cause I'm all alone and that's the way I'll stay tonight
 I never promised you anything, don't you go talking no wedding ring
 Baby, I run when you pull those reins too tight
 And at the bar last night you nearly started a fight
 With some pretty girl that was sitting across the way
 Then you turned on me with that third degree
 Now wait a minute, Babe, that's a game that I don't play
 And how come I don't ever see those girls you say that are staring at me
 Maybe, Baby, 'cause you're standing in my way
 And I think it's best for me to get my bags, it's time to
 leave
 I don't need no woman hanging on
 Well goodbye, Babe, we're through, I'll never be what you want me to
 The only thing I'll ever be is gone
 I'll never forget that night we met
 When I took a chance and we danced all night long
 It felt so right when I held you tight
 You squeezed my hand as the band played its final song
 But how the hell was I to know you'd be the kind that wouldn't let go
 I think it's time for me to move along
 And I think it's best for me to get my bags, it's time to leave
 I don't need no woman hanging on
 Well goodbye, Babe, we're through, I'll never be what you want me to
 The only thing I'll ever be is gone
