When I was away
I thought of you everyday
I dreamed of you everynight, in my arms
When I was away

When I was away
I called you on the telephone
Just to say "I love you"
You said "I love you, too"

But when I was away
You didn't mention a single thing
About your newfound friend
You didn't whisper a single word
About the wretched things
You were gonna do to me
When I was away

When I was away and called you on the telephone
You were standing next to him
Whispering in his ear
About the fool I'd been

When I was away, thinking of you everynight
You were laying next to him
Embracing him in our bed
What I a fool I've beeen

When I was away
You didn't mention a single thing
About your newfound friend
You didn't whisper a single word
About the wretched things
You were gonna do to me
When I was away
