Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
But did she go to work or just go to the store
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me, hang up and run to me
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now, she's going out the door
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
Oh, I can't control myself
Hang up and run to me, hang up and run to me
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh, I can't control myself, oh, I can't control myself
I know he's there but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Oh, why can't we talk again? Oh, why can't we talk again?
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
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
I want to tell you something, you've known all along
