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 got to call
Chorus:
Don't leave me hanging on the tele - phone
Don't leave me hanging on the tele - phone
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
Oh, why can't we talk again
Oh, why can't we talk again
chorus
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
Chorus:
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
Oh, I can't control myself
Oh, I can't control myself
Chorus:
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me
Oh, woah, woah, woah
Run to me, yeah
