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
Don`t leave me hanging on the telephone
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
Oh why can`t we talk again?
Don`t leave me hanging on the telephone
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
Don`t leave me hanging on the telephone
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
Oh I can`t control myself!
Don`t leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh hang there unrelieved!
