I've been away from you for far too long Too much absence makes the heart grow frantic I wanna tell you what's been going on Afraid to get me transatlantic I sit alone as the night goes by Stare at the phone and wait for your reply Longer distance never fair I can't find you anywhere I call you on the telephone But you're never home I gotta get a message to you Wanna tell you what is going through What in the world's coming over you? How come you're acting like a total stranger? I try to reach you but I can't get through I got this feeling that my heart's in danger I got your letter, it was perfectly clear I'm having a ball and wishing you were here Longer distance never fair I can't find you anywhere I call you on the telephone But you're never home I gotta get a message to you Wanna tell you what is going through What in the world's coming over you? How come you're acting like a total stranger? Premonition is a funny thing Unfamiliar, kind of vague and hazy Like knowing when the phone is gonna ring Too many times and it'll drive you crazy I hear you echoing along the hall Call out your name but no one's there at all Longer distance never fair I can't find you anywhere I call you on the telephone But you're never home Longer distance never fair I can't find you anywhere I call you on the telephone But you're never home Longer distance never fair I can't find you anywhere I call you on the telephone But you're never home
