Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Did she tell you it's over?
Did she throw you out in the night?
Here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a reckless heart
Will get you high again
[PreChorus]
But I changed the number on my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
[Chorus]
And I'll say
Must be a case
Of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
[Verse 2]
Did you think I'd be waiting for you?
Did you think I'd be holding my breath
To hear the sound of your footsteps?
Saying it's all over with her
And now you need me
You need me
[PreChorus]
But I changed the number on my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
[Chorus]
And I'll say
It must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
[Verse 3]
So don't try and call me anymore with your lies
Don't be a fool and make the mistake of
Thinking I still love you
Anyone can tell I'm fine
And I don't need you
[PreChorus]
But I changed the number on the telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
[Chorus]
I'll just say
It must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be, no
Must be a case of mistaken identity
[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
