I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, i'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but i just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother, now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
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
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If i don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when i can show you my affection
Oh i can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me! oh!
