Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Telephone ring
Telephone ring
Telephone ring
Go on, 'cause it won't  be on
To see, to see
Now, telephone ring without me
'Cause I'm no longer home
From the river to the valley
These are places where I roam
From the mountain to the seaside
Where the children up and play
Where the sun is my friend
And he shines on me all day
Till there's no more road to follow
No streets, no traffic lights
Turn my music up, I wanna play my song
And everything gon' be alright
[Verse 2]
You acting strange out in the trees
I know they be watching me
Act your age if you please
I know there's a child in me
You acting strange out in the trees
I know they'll be watching me
Act your age if you please
I know there's a child in me
[Verse 3]
Who's that green lamp on?
Everybody's acting so strange
Who's that green lamp on?
Everybody's acting so strange
Who's that green lamp on?
Everybody's acting strange
Who's that green lamp on?
Lamp on me, Lampin' up on me
[Verse 4]
I know that they be watching me
Watching what their eyes can see
I know that they be watching me
There's nothing that I can't do
No, no, no, no
[Verse 5]
Oh, no, no, no
Nothing that I can do with this
And nothing you thought to do, baby
Nothing oh nothing you did
Nothing you got to do, baby
Such a gripper baby
Be a stranger with me
[Verse 6]
I see you waiting
See you acting out
See you acting out
Like you had a doubt
See you acting strange
Into things I know about
See you acting out
See you acting out
[Verse 7]
Take the wheel
We can work it out
When the time is right
Show you what it's all about
When you're acting strange
In the dens, we'll move out
We can work it out
We can work it out
[Verse 8]
I see you waiting
See you acting out
See you acting out
Like you act up
See you acting strange
In a place so mobile
See you acting out
See you acting out
[Verse 9]
Taste of me
We can work it out
When the time is right
Show you what it's all about
When you're acting strange
And I feel so mobile
We can work it out
We can work it out
[Verse 10]
I see you waiting
See you acting out
See you acting out
Like you act up
See you acting strange
And I feel so mobile
See you acting out
See you acting out
