Leave A Message after the beep
Beep!
You never seem to be home
Where did you disappear?

I think I clogged your message machine
Apologizes
Worries
Wonder

I’ve seen you around town
Hand and Hand with someone
Not me
Kissing, hugging, laughing
Such a contagious disease between people

I took the medicine the doctor prescribed
I get better day-by-day
No more jealousy
Just wonder

I’m rising above all of this:
Start a new beginning
A better love
Someone who will stay with me
One who never lies

Between all the lies
Between all the worries
I got over you

When you go to call me
To take me back
All you will hear is
Leave a message after the beep
Beep!
