Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Callin' yourself a romantic, let me explain
Been across the whole Atlantic and back again
I had it with your antics, your childish games
Baby
[Verse 2]
I called your number twice, but it rang and rang
Against my best friend's advice, I should be ashamed
You did it to me once, you'll do it again
So she says
[Verse 3]
Love long distance is testing me, tryin' my patience
I need more of your assistance now
Love long distance is testing me, tryin' my patience
I need more of your assistance now
[Verse 4]
I heard it through the bass line
Not much longer would you be my baby
[Verse 5]
You work yourself into a panic, bent outta shape
And then take me for granted like nothin's changed
All my friends are askin' why you're that way
But I can't explain
[Verse 6]
Why I called your number twice, but it rang and rang
Against my best friend's advice, I should be ashamed
You did it to me once, you'll do it again
She promises
[Verse 7]
Love long distance is testing me, tryin' my patience
I need more of your assistance now
You're makin' me crazy, but the way that you've been actin' lately
I need more of your assistance now
[Verse 8]
Breakin' up or breakin' down
When I need you, you can't be found
I want someone who's around for me
Does it have to be so complicated?
Either way, I'm devastated
I could use a little comforting
[Verse 9]
Love long distance is testing me, tryin' my patience
I need more of your assistance now
Love long distance is testing me, tryin' my patience
I need more of your assistance now
[Verse 10]
Love, love
Love, love
I need some assistance now
[Verse 11]
And I will thank you for your cooperation
And I will thank you for your cooperation
And I will thank you for your cooperation
Stop playin' with me
