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
