The narrator speaks of a former lover who regrets leaving him, and now wants to come back.
However, the narrator no longer trusts her. In response, he gives her a quarter (in 1991, the common price for a local pay telephone call) and tells her to call someone else who cares to listen.
Music video
The music video was directed by Gerry Wenner. The woman playing the role of the woman wanting the narrator of the song back is Leighanne Wallace, the wife of Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell.
