Babe, I'm calling you from miles away
As far apart as we're both wrong
Babe, I've got something cold to say
Ooh, ooh, couldn't face you so I fall
He called (he called)
To tell (to tell)
That you were only a reharsal
He found the real thing
And he didn't wanna see you again
Sitting alone by the telephone
She been crying all night
His voice on the line sounded so unkind
But she hearing him right
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh crying all night
Hey, I know you hear me loud and clear
Ooh ooh I know I'm getting through
No, I never took you seriously
Ooh, ooh, I was practising on you
He called (he called)
To tell (to tell)
That you were only a reharsal
He found the real thing
And he didn't wanna see you again
Sitting alone by the telephone
She been crying all night
His voice on the line sounded so unkind
But she hearing him right
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, crying all night
(This love is just an imitation)
(Dealing with a situation)
He called (he called)
To tell (to tell)
That you were only a reharsal
He found the real thing
And he didn't wanna see you again
Sitting alone by the telephone
She been crying all night
Count off that love just imitation
Not what it appears
How tough still too cold too feel
No work of tears
The only things she loves are her fears
(This love is just an imitation)
(Dealing with a situation)
(This love is just an imitation)
(Now I've got my reservation)
(This love is just an imitation)
