Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover
Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
Oh, I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover
Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
I won't be there
