I Wasted A Nickel Last Night

I put a nickel in the telephone To find out dear if you'd be home I wasted a nickel last night I guess I've wished a million times It hadn't been a party line I wasted a nickel last night I heard you tell a friend of mine That I was not the one Why did you play me for a fool So you could have your fun If I had known it from the start It might have saved a broken heart The nickel I wasted last night I lost a nickel but I lost much more It seems I hear it o'er and o'er I wasted a nickel last night My castles have all fallen down I saw them tumble to the ground A nickel changed it all last night But someday when your world gets lonely And your friends are few The door of love is open dear I'm waiting here for you A nickel has it's story told Of love not worth its weight in gold I wasted a nickel last night
