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 he's there but i just had to call
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?
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!
don't leave me hanging on the telephone
