Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put your sweet lips a little closer
To the phone (To the phone)
Let's pretend we're together
All alone (All alone tonight)
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox
Way down low (Way down low)
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go (Have to go)
[Verse 2]
Whisper to me, tell me, do you
Love me true? (Love me true)
Or is he holding you
The way I do? (Way I do tonight)
Though love is blind, make up your mind
I've got to know (Got to know)
Tell me, should I hang up, or will you tell him
He'll have to go? (Have to go)
[Verse 3]
You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with another man
If you want me, answer yes or no
Darling, I will understand
[Verse 4]
Put your sweet lips a little closer (Closer)
To the phone (To the phone)
Let's pretend we're together
All alone (All alone tonight)
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox
Way down low, low, low, low, low (Way down low)
And you can tell your friend there with you
He's gonna have to go (Have to go)
[Verse 5]
Oh, let him go (Let him go)
Why don't you just let him go? (Let him go)
