Lyrics

I didn't sleep, awake for all night long
waiting by my telephone
you said you'd call me about a quarter to ten
but you went and stood me up again
I don't know what you're gonna do
I'm gonna forget about you

I'm gonna take your picture of my wall
and then I'm going out and have a ball
too many fishes in the deep blue sea
for me to let you make a fool of me
I don't know what you're gonna do but
I'm gonna forget about you

please don't tell me that you're sorry
don't give me the same old line
I know for a fact if I took you back
that you'd make me lose my mind

and if you're lost and it would be my fault
so I think it is time to call a halt
I'f had as much of you as I can stand
instead of me mistreat some other man
I don't know what you're gonna do
I'm gonna forget about you

I'm gonna take your picture of my wall
and then I'm going out and have a ball
too many fishes in the deep blue sea
for me to let you make a fool of me
I don't know what you're gonna do but
I'm gonna forget about you

forget about you baby
I'm gonna forget about you
