It Must Be Him

(Hal David - Burt Bacharach)



I tell myself what's done is done

I tell myself don't be a fool

Play the field have a lotta fun

It's easy when you play it cool.



I tell myself don't be a chump

Who cares let him stay away

That's when the phone rings and I'd jump

And as I grab the phone I pray.



Let it please be him, oh dear God

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die, or I shall die

Hello, hello, my dear God

It must be him, but it's not him

And then I'll die, that's when I die.



After awhile I'm myself again

Pick the pieces off the floor

Put my heart on the shelf again

He'll never hurt me anymore.



I'm not a puppet on the string

I'll find somebody else someday

That's when the phone rings

Ond once again I pray.



Let it please be him. oh dear God

It must be him, it must be him

Or I shall die, or I shall die

Hello, hello, my dear God

It must be him, but it's not him

And then I'll die, that's when I die...
