Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like no one really cares
Call me on the telephone
I'll be there
When you feel like you really need love
I'll always be by your side
Call me on the telephone
Everyone needs someone to love
Call me, I'll give you love
[Chorus]
When you feel like you need someone there
Feel like no one really cares
Call me on the telephone
I'll be there
We'll share a love that will never end
Lean on me and I'll be your friend
In your darkest hour I'll be your light
Like a star shining in the night
Call me on the telephone

Call me, and I'll give you love
In my heart, you'd have a home
