Look who’s calling my name out
Hear how my heart beats at the sound
And I wonder if you’ve forgiven me for letting you down
Look who’s reeling from the blows sent straight to the heart
And left wondering what rash decisions will be set in stone

Does this ring a bell?
Ring-a-ling a bell?
Does it hurt, love?
Hurt like hell?
Does the sweat from my brow
Drip, drip
Bring about anything that will make this better?

Look who’s hanging on the every word you’re saying
And praying that the punches you’ve thrown
Won’t sink straight to the bone
Oh, and look whose heart’s set on your silhouette
Whose heart goes bump bump bump bump in her chest
Oh, love, those things I said
You know that I didn’t mean them

Does this ring a bell?
Ring-a-ling a bell?
Does it hurt, love?
Hurt like hell?
Does the sweat from my brow
Drip, drip
Bring about anything that will make this better?

Look who’s seeing stars again
Wondering what just happened?
What makes these dumb things happen?
Look who’s sorry
Look, look, look, look who’s sorry
I’m looking in your eyes
I’m wondering what they’re saying to me

Does this ring a bell?
Ring-a-ling a bell?
Does it hurt, love?
Hurt like hell?
Does the sweat from my brow
Drip, drip
Bring about anything that will make this better?

Does this ring a bell?
Ring-a-ling a bell?
Does it hurt, love?
Hurt like hell?
Do the words make a sound as they fall from my mouth?
Do they hurt, love?
Do they make you burn?
