(feat. Chrissie Hynde)
[Ringo:]
With my inside outside
Looking for a free ride
Waiting for the band to come
[Chrissie:]
Is it me or the drummin'
Or your guitar strummin'
Gotta tell me I'm the only one
[Ringo:]
I wanna sit here, drink beer
I really love you dear but there's a
Rent man knockin' at the door
[Chrissie:]
I got new shoes, new dress
Hair-do, I guess
You don't love me anymore
[Both:]
Don't hang up
Don't hang me up
[Ringo:]
When I'm out there rockin'
I'll be rockin' round the clock and
I will always come home to you
[Chrissie:]
While you're downtown playin'
I'll be uptown strayin' cause
That's what lonely women do
[Both:]
Don't hang up
Don't hang me up
Love is strange, love is sad
But love is everything we have
It's gone today, gone tomorrow
Why is that the way it has to be
For you and me?
Love is strange, love is sad
But love is everything we have
It's gone today, gone tommorow
Why is that the way it has to be
For you and me?
[Ringo:]
I got good news/bad news
The record deal fell through
[Chrissie:]
Sorry, I'll be out of town
Wait dear/not here
[Both:]
Don't hang up
Don't hang me up
