Is That a Tear

Last thing I expected was to get her call tonight

'Cause the last thing that I'd heard from her

Was she'd found Mr. Right

But when I came home this evening

There it was on my machine

Now I'm just wondering what the hell it means

Said she's sorry that she missed me

And she's been doing fine

Oh, I've run it back and heard her say

Those words a hundred times

But something makes me wonder

Is she happy with her choice

Or is that a tear I hear in her voice?

The first time that I listened

I thought, "Boy, she's got some nerve"

But the second time I heard it

I heard more than just her words

Am I just wishful thinking

Or did her voice really cracked

I'll never know if I don't call her back

Said she's sorry, that she missed me

And she's been doing fine

Oh, I've run it back and heard her say

Those words a hundred times

But something makes me wonder

Is she happy with her choice

Or is that a tear I hear in her voice?

Oh, is that a tear

Lord, is that a tear I hear in her voice
