I call my baby the other morning Just to tell her I were after you (?) And after three rings it ain't serving And a strange voice so unreal The words were plain and simple But it filled my heart with fear The message came through the phone line, oh, And this is all I hear. You can't reach buddy you're calling 'Cause there's trouble on the line I hung up the phone, oh yeah And started cry.
Trouble on the line Trouble on the line I hung up the phone And started cry You can't reach the buddy you're calling, hey Because there's trouble on the line

It was two o'clock this morning When she finally answered the phone And these words I heard her saying, oh It cut me to the bone She said: "Your best friend, he just left you You're not welcome anymore Don't call ???? And don't come knokin' on my door"
Trouble on the line Trouble on the line I dropped the phone And started die You can't reach the buddy you're calling Because there's trouble on the line

Now I'm sitting here wondering: What to do for all this time And I hear that voice saying "Trouble on the line"
Trouble on the line Trouble on the line There's no peace You can find When you can't reach the buddy you're calling Oh, it's trouble on the line
