Enjoy!

The other day, there was a knock at my door
It was your ex-girlfriend
She thought that I was you and wanted to stay
There must have been some mix-up
She said I had left her lonely
  Why don't you call her, tell her that it was you,
  so she'll stop bugging me.

Then on my way to work, I noticed a car
Taking all the same turns
Wouldn't you know it was that girl at the wheel
She got out and said:
"From the day I met you I knew
If I can't have you, no one can"
  Why don't you call her, tell her that it was you,
  so she'll stop bugging me.

BRIDGE:
Crossing over the bridge, she cornered me
But when I tried to explain
She refused to listen, covered up her ears
Then she brought up her case
Pulling out her accordion, she played a serenade:
"We were made for each other"
Everybody was looking, turning our way
What an embarrassing day

While at a restaurant having lunch with my boss
She showed up again
She reminisced about the great sex we'd had
In way too much detail
My boss was more amused than I
So he gave her his business card
  Why don't you call her, tell her that it was you,
  so she'll stop bugging me.

Then once again there was a knock at my door
It was she, and I told her:
"I have no interest, will you please go away"
Again I heard her creed:
"From the day I met you I knew
If I can't have you, no one can"
  Why don't you call her, tell her that it was you,
  so she'll stop bugging me.

Now there's a hit man sitting outside my door
That woman of yours is a psycho
She said she'd call him off if I'd marry her
Only you can stop her
From the day she met you she knew
If she couldn't have you, no one could
  Why don't you call her, tell her that it was you,
  so she'll stop bugging me.

So she'll stop bugging me.

So she'll stop bugging,
Call off her hit man,
So she'll stop bugging me.
