Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
[Chorus]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Verse 2]
I heard your mother now, she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said I told you to ignore
[Bridge]
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
[Chorus]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Verse 3]
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
[Chorus]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Verse 4]
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
[Bridge]
Oh, I can't control myself
Oh, I can't control myself
Oh, I can't control myself
[Chorus]
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
[Outro]
Hang up and run to me, oh
Hang up and run to me, oh
Hang up and run to me, oh
Hang up and run to me, oh, oh, whoa-whoa
Run to me, yeah
