(Eddie Curtis)



Hello, oh hello darling, have you missed me, you have

Are you telling me true, oh, that's nice

Well, why don't you come to my house

And talk me more of that sweet talk, uh darling, hello, hello, hello.



Oh, he's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

But when I say come over baby, he says I gotta go.



I dig his warm conversation when he's talking on the phone

I dig his warm conversation when he's talking on the phone

But het gets cool, mighty cool when I say come on home.



Oh well, his voice gets me so excited

I get goose pimples everywhere

But when I tell him that he's invited

All of a sudden that man ain't there.



He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

But it's my dream to have him and somehow I'll make it so.



(Now talk me some of that sweet talk, honey.)

Well, well, well, he's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo

But it's my dream to have him and somehow I'll make it so...
