Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard you're seeing someone new
And I hope he treats you good
But if I dare to tell the truth
Hope it don't go the way it should
Hope he don't treat you like I could

So call me when it's over
Tell me when you're done
And I can be the
I can be the shoulder
The shoulder to cry on
A heart to rely on

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I know at times I've made mistakes
Wish I could blow them all away
Won't you believe me when I say
I'm so much better now I've changed
I've only got myself to blame

Call me when it's over
Tell me when you're done
And I can be the
I can be the shoulder
The shoulder to cry on
A heart to rely on

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, yeah (oh)
Call me when it's over
Tell me when you're done
And I can be the
I can be the shoulder
The shoulder to cry on
A heart to rely on

Call me when it's over
Tell me when you're done
And I can be the
I can be the shoulder




The shoulder to cry on
A heart to rely on
