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've chosen 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

Hang up and run to me
