I

get

to

Phoe-

She'll

be

ri-

She'll

find

the

note

I

left

han-

On

her

door

She'll

laugh

when

she

reads

the

part

That

says

I'm

lea-

'Cause

I've

left

that

girl

so

ma-

By

She'll

be

wo-

She'll

prob'-

stop

at

lunch

And

give

me

a

call

But

she'll

just

hear

that

phone

keep

on

rin-

Off

Ok-

And

call

my

out

low

And

she'll

cry

just

to

think

I'd

real-

leave

her

Though

time

I've

tried

to

tell

her

She

just

did-

n't
