Lyrics

Hello
Hello, Loretta
Darling, I knew it was you
(Loretta, there's something I just got to tell you)
Oh, please, tell me what to do
(I don't really know how to say this but I wanna tell you that I)
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone
(No, no, you don't understand, Loretta, I'm trying to tell you that I)
The talk is around that we're through
(Yeah, I know, I've heard it too)
Oh, darling, tell me what to do
(But that's just it, that's what I'm trying to tell you, I want to tell you that)
I knew that you'd tell me they were wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone
(Ah, but it is true, they're not wrong)
Oh no, oh no
(I'm sorry, Loretta)
I can't believe that it's true
(I'm sorry, Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that we're through
(I know you know that I never thought it would come to this, I)
You tell me it's over and done
(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)
You say that you've had all your fun
(And you just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you)
But I can't believe you'll be gone
(This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too)
As soon as I hang up the phone
(Yeah, I'll be gone)
As soon as I hang up the phone
(Goodbye, Loretta)
