Broken Telephone

My telephone ain’t working anymore

Think I’ll take it off the wall,

drag it out the door,

scrounge up some cash,

take it over to the store

and tell ‘em my telephone ain’t working

anymore.

It don’t ring the way it used to do

back when we were young

and love was new

she’s probably tried to call a million

times

I’m sure it’s true

But it don’t ring the way it used to do

So, help me Mr. Repairman

You’ve got to do something

I know she’s trying to reach me

but I haven’t heard a thing

That phone ain’t rang once

since she walked out the door

but don’t you try to tell me

she don’t want me no more

I know that I’m the one she still adores

It’s just that my telephone ain’t working

anymore

Strangest thing about this phone of mine

Every time that I pick up that line

Some voice tells me not to dial her

number

Don’t know why

Won’t you help me fix this broken phone

of mine?

So, help me Mr. Repairman

You’ve got to do something

I know she’s trying to reach me

but I haven’t heard a thing

That phone ain’t rang once

since she walked out the door

but don’t you try to tell me

she don’t want me no more

I know that I’m the one she still adores

It’s just that my telephone ain’t working

anymore

I don’t know what she’s doing

or where she’s been

but surely, she’s been calling.

I wish she’d come home again.

So, help me Mr. Repairman

You’ve got to do something

She’s got to be trying to reach me

but I still ain’t heard a thing

That phone ain’t rang once

since she walked out the door

and I’m starting to worry

that she don’t care no more

I pray that I’m the one she still adores

and that my telephone ain’t working

anymore

and that my telephone ain’t working

anymore

It’s got to be that my telephone just ain’t

working anymore
