Hanging on the Telephone

I'm in the phone booth, 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 hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I heard your mother, now she's going out the door Did she go to work, or just go to the store? All those things she 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 hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long If I don't get your calls, then everything goes wrong I want to tell you something you've known all along Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation I'd 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 hanging on the telephone Hang up and run to me Oh, hang up and run to me Oh, hang up and run to me
