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 you're there so I just had to call
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone 

 I heard your mother now she's walking out the door
 Did she go to work or just go to the store
 All those things she said I told you to ignore
 Whoah why can't we talk again
 Whoah why can't we talk again
 Whoah why can't we talk again
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
 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 call 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 [bad word] 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
 Whoah I can't control myself
 Whoah I can't control myself
 Whoah I can't control myself
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
 Oh hang up [bad word] to me
 Oh hang up [bad word] to me
 Oh hang up [bad word] to me
 Oh hang up [bad word] to me
 Oh ooh ooh hang up [bad word] to me
