Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello?
How are you?
Have you been all right
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That's what I'd say
I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
[Verse 2]
Hey
How you feeling?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize, the things we did, we did
Are for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view
Oh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, woo
[Verse 3]
Doo-wop, doobie-doo, doo-wop
Doo-wa, doo, light
Blue days, black nights
Doo-wa, doo, light
[Verse 4]
Look into the sky
The love you need ain't gonna see you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned ain't coming to
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
[Verse 6]
Okay
So no one's answering
Can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer?
Oh, I'll just sit tight
Through shadows of the night
Let it ring forevermore
Oh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, woo
[Verse 7]
Doo-wop, doobie-doo, doo-wop
Doo-wa, doo, light
Blue days, black nights
Doo-wa, doo, light
[Verse 8]
Look into the sky
The love you need ain't gonna see you through
And I wonder why
The little things you planned ain't coming true
[Verse 9]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
[Verse 10]
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
