I'm in the phone booth, it's a one across the hallIf you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wallI know he's there, but I just gotta callDon't leave me hanging on the telephoneDon't leave me hanging on the telephoneI heard your mother now she's going out the doorDid she go to work or just go to the store?All those things she said I told you to ignoreOh, why can't we talk again?Oh, why can't we talk again?Oh, why can't we talk again?Don't leave me hanging on the telephoneDon't leave me hanging on the telephoneIt's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so longIf I don't get your calls then everything goes wrongI wanna tell you something you've known all alongDon't leave me hanging on the telephoneI had to interrupt and stop this conversationYour voice across the line gives me a strange sensationI like to talk when I can show you my affectionOh, I can't control myselfDon't leave me hanging on the telephoneHang up and run to meOh, hang up and run to meOh, hang up and run to meOh, hang up and run to meOh, hang up and run to me
