lyrics

The phone is ringing: it’s two AM
Nobody knows about the shape I’m in
Long day: need my rest, need to get away
But the phone is ringing and she's calling me just to say...

She's so sad: had a bad, bad day
Her boyfriend's left her and she's got no place else to stay
Knew I'd be sleeping, but she called here anyway
She's sorry, she's sorry

And everybody's got their cross to bear
But now I find out that she wants to share
I'm not gonna carry that cross
She's gotta figure out that everything's not lost

Oh, Tara, don't you dump your love on me
We've been through this, but you still can't see me
Don't need your problems, got enough of my own
To you, I'm just another voice on the telephone

Twelve AM: there's a knock on my door
She takes a step in, throws her stuff on the floor
I'm way too tired to care anymore
The bed is taken: have to sleep on the floor

And in the morning, a goodbye kiss
And she turns and gives me a look that I just can't miss
I'm a guardian angel, just biding my time
'Till she figures her life out and she wants to be mine

And everybody's got their cross to bear
But now I find out that she wants to share
I'm not gonna carry that cross
She's gotta figure out that everything's not lost

Oh, Tara, you're tearing me apart
We've been through this, but you still can't see me
Don't need your problems, got enough of my own
To you, I'm just another voice on the telephone

And when you tell me you love me
We both don't know how to feel
But you know that you need me
And that need is real...

And everybody's got their cross to bear
But now I find out that she wants to share
I'm not gonna carry that cross
She's gotta figure out that everything's not lost

Oh, Tara, don't you dump your love on me
We've been through this, but you still can't see me
Don't need your problems, got enough of my own
To you, I'm just another voice on the telephone

Oh, Tara, you're tearing me apart
We've been through this, but you still can't see me
Don't need your problems, got enough of my own
To you, I'm just another voice on the telephone...
