She knew that he was taken but she gave in anyway
Tears and champagne offer no solution
So she makes her New Year's resolution
Soon, I can't talk to you right now
And she knows how to answer before she hears him say
Soon I'll be free to be with you
I want you to be my wife and our dreams will all come true, soon
Soon, when he shows up at her door and ask her when
He'll say soon to her forever
She knows that it's useless, but she does it anyway
So she calls his caller phone just to hear his voice
Christmas finds her all alone with no calls to rejoice
Someday slowly turns to never
Soon she won't call him anymore
Leave your number and your name, and I promise I'll call back, soon
Soon, you'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
She believed it when she heard him say
Soon I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
