Your voice comes through the wire Then it's not there at all I'm left holding this piece of plastic Wondering why did you call Is it just a bad connection? Should I hang up and try again? Is it just my imagination Or is another call coming in? You've got to hold me, I cry Will you hold? You reply I want you to hold me But you just put my love on hold I can't get a word in edgewise Between all the things that you do I can hear you reach for the button When the talk turns away from you It's been such a long, long distance Such a long, long time But how can I make contact When there's no one on the line? You've got to hold me, I cry Will you hold? You reply I want you to hold me But you just put my love on hold Hold me, I cry Will you hold? You reply I want you to hold me But you just put my love on Hold me, I cry Will you hold? You reply I want you to hold me But you just put my love on hold Put my love on hold I'm cryin', hold me, I cry Will you hold? You reply I don't wanna cry Hold me, I cry Don't you put my love on hold Put, put my love, put my love on hold, baby Will you hold me? I cry I could wait forever Will you hold? You reply Hold me, I cry Don't you put my love on hold
