1.      The 'phone won't ring but I don't mind
          'Cause since that woman said good-bye
                   I'm not around at night to take the call
          She said our time had come and gone,
                    that she was sorry from now on
          She didn't have no use for me at all

Chorus:      I got the message, I think I understand
                   She just got tired of lovin' just one man
                   She ain't to blame, can't you see
                   It's hard for a girl with a love like her's
                             to love a man like me

2.       So tonight I think I'll go down town
                   and have myself a look around
          I know I'll find me someone else to hold
          That woman said she's through with me
          But I don't need no memory
                   to keep me warm at night when it gets cold

3.       I've been in love a time or two
                   so listen what I'm tellin' you
          Before you tell some girl you love her so
          Make sure that you both understand
                   that she'll be lovin' just one man
          'Cause it takes more than love to make love grow
