Lyrics
THE RINGING OF THE TELEPHONE ROUSED RICKY FROM A RESTLESS SLEEP
AS HE REACHED ACROSS HIS LOVER FOR HIS PDA HIS HEART PICKED UP A BEAT
HE KNOCKED ALAMP OFF OF THE TABLE SITTIN' BY HIS GIRLFRIEND'S BED
AS HE REACHED OUT FOR HIS PHONE A THOUSAND THOUGHTS WENT THROUGH HIS HEAD
HE LOOKED TO VERIFY THE TIME, ON THE CLOCK RADIO
4:05 IN THE A.M., HE WAS AFRAID TO SAY HELLO
CALLER ID REVEALED HIS WIFES NAME AND HE RAISED THE TELEPHONE UP TO HIS EAR
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO PREPARE HIM FOR WHAT HE KNEW HE WAS ABOUT TO HEAR
Chorus:
WHEN GOOD JUDGEMENT'S LEFT THE PREMISSES AND EMOTIONS CALL THE SHOTS. AND YOU'RE JUST SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO JUSTIFY
KNOW THAT EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE COMES WITH A PRICE YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY
JUST LIKE A RABBIT SPITTIN IN A BULLDOGS EYE.
SUSIE HAD WAITED TIL SHE HAD THE EVIDENCE THAT SHE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE CALL
SHE REALLY CAUGHT RICKY RED HANDED AND SHE KNEW HIS BACK WOULD BE AGAINST THE WALL
SHE STILL HAD HER RESERVATIONS 'BOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THIS NOW
BECAUSE HER DELIBERATIONS LEFT HER IN THE RIGHT BUT ALSO EMPTY INSIDE SOMEHOW
CHORUS
BRIDGE
AND YOU KNOW NOBODY'S PERFECT AND WE ALL MAKE OUR MISTAKES AND THEN WE WONDER WHY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH HELL
FOR ME IT AIN'T SO MUCH THE SIN THAT CAUSES ALL THE PAIN; IT'S THE SECRETS & BETRAYAL'S, AND ALL OF THE LIES WE TELL........
CHORUS
