I can hear the telephone Let it ring, let it ring Because I want to be alone Let it ring And the television's on Let it run, let it run Because the fascination's gone Let it run A storm is coming on I say let it come Because my one and only's gone Let it come The oil wells they burn Because there's money to be earned And I can never learn Let it burn I can hear the radio Let it play, let it play Because I've got no place to go Let it play And the singers on tv Let them sing, let them sing Because I let you go free Let them sing And still I was surprised When I looked into your eyes I knew it all was lies It was lies The oil wells they burn Because there's money to be earned And I can never learn Let it burn
