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 Oh i can't control myself! Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
