(Answer the bloody phone)
I'm in the phonebooth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
I know she's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
I heard your mama, "Now she's goin' out the door
I think she's gone to work, or just gone to the store"
All the things you said I told you to ignore
Oh, why can't we talk again, oh, why can't we talk again
Oh, why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice, I know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I wanna tell you something you knew all along
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
(Solo)
I am the winner of this pointless conversation
Your voice [and cry so makes is me] a slick sensation
I like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh, I can't control myself, oh, I can't control myself
Oh, I can't control myself
Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
Get down here on your knees, oh, get down here on your knees
Oh, get down here on your knees, oh, get down here on your knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh on your knees
