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
