Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell Invented a contraption that we know so well By the 1950's they're in everybody's home It's that crazy little thing they call the telephone Now there's one in every corner, in the back of every bar You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car
Chorus: So tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) Tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) I said now darlin' (Darlin') Honey (Honey) What is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
Well there's no problem gettin to me baby you can dial direct I got call forward and call waitin' you can even call collect The service man he told me that my phone was workin' fine And I have come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you through So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
Chorus: So tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) Tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) I said now darlin' (Darlin') Honey (Honey) What is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
There'd better been a flood A landslide of mud A fire that burns up the wires And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud A natural disaster I know nothin' about
Chorus: So tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) Tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) I said now darlin' (Darlin') Honey (Honey) What is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
Chorus: So tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) Tell me why (Why) Haven't I (Haven't I) Heard from you (Why haven't I heard from you) I said now darlin' (Darlin') Honey (Honey) What is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
