[Verse 1]
Not a word is spoken as she's putting on her makeup
And I smell that perfume and it takes me
To a time when she wore it just for me
Knowing her, she thinks I'll hang around here 'til she gets home
She thinks I don't mind being here alone
She finds her purse and fumbles for her keys

[Verse 2]
She don't know (she don't know)
'cross town, there's a lady I've been seeing
And on certain nights, when all I feel is human
When that lonely woman feels like using mе
I could go (go) and know she wouldn't want me once I'vе had her
I could sit and wait up for the one that matters
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be

[Bridge]
But I love the one that just pulled off my ring
But I need the one who doesn't mean a thing
And I don't wanna leave, don't wanna stay
Knowing I'll be losing either way

[Verse 3]
The telephone and silence waits for me to make that call
Our wedding picture hangs there on the wall
Looking down on what any fool can see
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
It's just a matter of whose fool I wanna be
