(Answer the bloody phone)
   I'm in the phonebooth, it's the one across the hall
   If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
   I know she's there, but I just had to call
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   I heard your mama, "Now she's goin' out the door
   I think she's gone to work, or just gone to the store"
   All the things you said I told you to ignore
   Oh, why can't we talk again, oh, why can't we talk again
   Oh, why can't we talk again
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   It's good to hear your voice, I know it's been so long
   If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
   I wanna tell you something you knew all along
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   (Solo)
   I am the winner of this pointless conversation
   Your voice [and cry so makes is me] a slick sensation
   I like to talk when I can show you my affection
   Oh, I can't control myself, oh, I can't control myself
   Oh, I can't control myself
   Don't leave me hangin' on the telephone
   Get down here on your knees, oh, get down here on your knees
   Oh, get down here on your knees, oh, get down here on your knees
   Oh-oh-oh-oh on your knees
