I see how he travels Whenever he walks through your mind

Stirrin' up memories that cloud up your eyes

Where the light of our love ought to shine

I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad

He must have been goin' in sane

Well, I've finally learned how to hold you together

When somebody mentions his name

He's just a ghost story, so don't let him scare you, He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you, I'll hold you so close, I'll love him right out of your dreams

I know that he's called you, And told you that our love can't last

But don't you believe him, 'cause honey, he's wrong

He's never been right in the past

So don't let him haunt you, tell you those lies

He just can't admit that you're free

So the next time he calls you, just hand me the phone And see if he says it to me
