You might be sleeping when he calls
You might be dreamin' that you're in control
(no, no, no, no)
He's only keeping you around 'cause
You keep on, you keep on
Giving him a hand to hold
Say hun, say hun
Why eat the bitter ones
When you got something sweet?
Say hun, say hun
You need a better one
Not one to settle on
Just know that you got me
[Chorus:]
He only calls ya when he needs ya
'Cause when he needs ya is
Only, only, only, only temporary
I'm gonna call ya 'cause I need ya
Because I need to
You'll know I'll be, be, be there in the morning light
To see you in the morning light
Have it any way you want
You could be steady or be strung along
(no, no, no, no)
I'll get you bumping like a kick drum
He's like a record
That keeps skipping on the same song
Say hun, say hun
Why eat the bitter ones
When you got something sweet?
Say hun, say hun
You need a better one
One for the longer run
Just know that you got me
[Chorus:]
He only calls ya when he needs ya
'Cause when he needs ya is
Only, only, only, only temporary
I'm gonna call ya 'cause I need ya
Because I need to
You'll know I'll be, be, be there in the morning light
To see you in the morning light
It's only, only, only, only temporary
Hun, it's only, only temporary....
[Chorus:]
He only calls ya when he needs ya
'Cause when he needs ya is
Only, only, only, only temporary
I'm gonna call ya 'cause I need ya
Because I need to
You'll know I'll be, be, be there in the morning light
To see you in the morning light
