The phone rings once again about midnight
You’re feeling blue and I’m alone tonight
We laugh and joke and make the night brand new,
Like friends or lovers do, we're in between the two
But someone else is deciding who leaves who

Who leaves who, who leaves who
It’s hit and run just like good cheaters do
But before it gets too tight
You think you'll slip out from that noose
Then you're the one deciding who leaves who

You laugh with me but love that girl you wed
But she’s signing papers like the lawyer said
If she’s really telling you you’re through
You’ll get her back with someone new, steal a win before you lose
Score one your side deciding who leaves who

Well I’m old enough to know better
But I still don’t know what’s right
Just cause the stars are crossed in heaven
Don’t make the midnight shine less bright

Who leaves who, who leaves who
It’s hit and run just like good cheaters do
But before it gets too tight
Think I’ll slip out from that noose
And put it back to you deciding who leaves who
