All day long I hear my telephone ring,
C F C F
friends calling, giving their advice.
C F C F
From the boy I love, I should break away,
C F C
'cause heartaches he'll bring one day.
F G Em Am
I lost him once through friends' advice, but it's not gonna happen twice,
F G Em Am
'cause all advice ever's gotten me, was many long and sleepless nights.
F C F C F C F C F
Ooh! But now he's back in my arms again, right by my side.
C F C F C F C F
I got him back in my arms again, so satisfied. Ooh!
C F C F
It's easy for friends to say: let him go!
C F C F
But I'm the one who needs him so!
C F C F
It's his love that makes me strong,
C F C
without him I can't go on.
F G Em Am
This time I'll live my life at ease, being happy, lovin' whom I please,
F G Em Am
and each time we make romance, I'll be thankful for a second chance.

Ooh! But now he's back in my arms again, right by my side.

I got him back in my arms again, so satisfied. Ooh!

How can Mary tell me what to do,
C F C F
when she lost her love so true?
C F C F
And Flo, she don't know,
C F C
'cause the boy she loves is a Romeo.
