Lyrics

Sure you haven't got the wrong number
You sure it's me you wanna talk to tonight
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is that why you got in touch with me?
(Ooh-ooh)
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
When you went and left me there crying
(Ooh-ooh)
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
(Ooh-ooh)
It didn't bother you I was cryin'
(Ooh-ooh)
And now you wanna break my heart twice
(Ooh-ooh)
Is that why you got in touch with me?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Guess you got back
(Guess you got)
To my name
(To my name)
In your little black book
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well listen
Tell you what
(Tell you what)
I bet you forgot
(You forgot)
How I even look
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
So go ahead with all your sweet talkin'
(Ooh-ooh)
Go ahead for all the good it can do
(Ooh-ooh)
Have yourself a dime's worth of talkin'
(Ooh-ooh)
And then I'm gonna hang right up on you
(Ooh-ooh)
'Cause this time, you're not
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're not getting through to me
(Ooh-ooh)
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're runnin' out of fools
Even old fools like me
