He'll Have to Go

Put your sweet lips A little closer to the phone Let's pretend that we're together All alone

I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox Way down low And you can tell your friend there with you He'll have to go

Whisper to me Tell me, do you love me too? Or is he holding you The way I do?

Though love is blind Make up your mind I've got to know

Should I hang up Or will you tell him He'll have to go?

You can say the words I wanna hear While you're with another man Do you want me, answer yes or no Darling, I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer To the phone Let's pretend that we're together All alone

I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox Way down low And you can tell your friend there with you He'll have to go
