Some crazy girl - who hasn't found out that you're taken. I'm
sorry. I'm sorry. Once again, I've been hit with - this misery. [music][singing]
In my head. In my head, it's all - noise.
Better just hang up the phone - and don't take your eyes off me.
Don't waste your time with strangers.
You don't see what's right next to you. You don't see - what's right next to you.

Too late at night, still out. You'd - be better off [music]
