     All day long I hear my telephone ring
     Friends calling giving their advice
     From the boy I love
     I should break away
     'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day

     I lost him once through friends advice
     But it's not gonna happen twice
     'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
     Was many long and sleepless nights

     Ooh! But now
     He's back in my arms again
     Right by my side
     I got him back in my arms again
     So satisfied

     It's easy for friends to say
     Let him go
     But I'm the one
     Who needs him so
     It's his love that makes me strong
     Without him I can't go on
     This time I'll life my life at ease
     Being happy lovin' whom I please
     And each time we make romance
     I'll be thankfull for a second chance

     Ooh! Cause
     He's back in my arms again
     Right by my side
     I got him back in my arms again
     So satisfied

     How can Mary tell me what to do
     When she lost her love so true?
     And Flo, she don't know
     'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
     I listened once to my friends advice
     But it's not gonna happen twice
     'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
     Was many long and sleepless nights

     Ooh! I got him
     Back in my arms again
     Right by my side
     I got him back in my arms again
     So satisfied

     Ooh! I'm satisfied yeah
     So satisfied
