Every time the phone rings my heart skips a beat
hoping that it’s you
It’s just one of those things, common sense makes no more sense
thought I was over you
No one’s made me feel that good, my body won’t forget
I could feel that way again, it’s tempting me but yet
If I spend time with you I might do something I’d regret

And it’s thrilling me to have you come my way again
It’s killing me cause I want you to stay, but then
I’d just fall right back in love
Tomorrow you’d be gone, so I say
Better safe than sorry

When I lay in bed at night sometimes I think about
all the love we made
It’s funny how the memories of the way you broke my heart
Always seem to fade
Then I come to the same conclusion that it’s understood
It is an insane delusion that you ever could
Love me completely, and always treat me good

And it’s thrilling me to have you come my way again
It’s killing me cause I want you to stay, but then
I’d just fall right back in love
Tomorrow you’d be gone, so I say
Better safe than sorry, I say
Better safe than sorry, I say

But if you’d love me now boy if you loved me now
Then I’d stay
Oh if you’d love me now then I don’t know how
I could ever turn you away

But it’s thrilling me to have you come my way again
It’s killing me cause I want you to stay, but then
I’d just fall right back in love
Tomorrow you’d be gone, so I say
Better safe than sorry, I say
Better safe than sorry, I say
Better safe than sorry, I say
Better safe than sorry
