Short Verion
Well it's all day long I've been standing by my telephone
Well it's all day long I've been standing by my telephone
Well I decided I'd call my baby, and some other man answered the phone
I said please, please tell me what's going on wrong
Well please baby, tell me what's going on wrong
"Well you mistreated me daddy, I've got a new man living in your home"
Well I said bye baby looks like this is the end
Well bye baby, I said looks like this is the end
Well I had to quit you baby, because you got too mean to me
Long Version
Well it's all day long, Lord I've been standing by my telephone
All day long, Lord you know I've been by my telephone
Well my land lady said I had a call people
Well some other man answered the phone
Well she said it was my baby, Lord I said tell her I am not at home
Well she said she said it's your baby, Lord I said tell her I am not at home
She's been gone six weeks, wow and six months too long
Early in the morning, Lord I .... answer my phone
Early in the morning, Lord I .... to answer my telephone
Yes I'm just too mean and evil, to find out what my baby wants
Oh baby, Lord you know I need your love so
Oh baby, Lord you know I need your love so
Good bye everybody, don't think like I got no friends
Good bye
