Pick up the phone
F.R. David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said good bye when I leff to your answering machine
Then you jumped in a plane
Girl
You know what I mean
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah, pick up the phone
Oh please
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
Waiting so many years
Feeling closer to you
Not a sign not a trace
Baby
What can I do?
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah, pick up the phone
Oh please

Pick up the phone
Let me know, I don't want to lose you
Girl
Don't hang up
Get in touch
Fill the shadow in my life
Oh what you're doing now? Intercommunication via satellite
You can call me long distance
Whatever you like
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah, pick up the phone
Oh please

Pick up the phone
Let me know
Oh what you're doing now
Can't we straighten it out
Won't you speak your heart?
Pick up the phone
Let me know
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah
Pick up the phone oh please
Pick up the phone
Oh yeah
Pick up the phone




Oh please
Oh please

Overall Meaning

The song "Pick Up the Phone" by F.R. David is about the frustration and desperation of a man who has been trying to reach out to a former lover. The man left a message on her answering machine when he left, indicating that he said his goodbyes before he departed. He then learns that his former lover has left town, and he is now anxious to speak to her. He pleads with her to "pick up the phone" so that he can hear her voice again, knowing that the distance between them makes it challenging to communicate.


The lyrics of the song suggest that this situation has been going on for several years. The man has been waiting for any sign of his former lover, without any success. He is feeling lost and incomplete without her presence in his life, and he needs to speak to her to fill the emptiness that he's been feeling. He doesn't want to lose her, and he is determined to do whatever it takes to reach her, even if it means communicating via satellite.


In summary, "Pick Up the Phone" is a poignant and emotional song about the longing for communication and reconnection with a lost love. The lyrics depict the desperation of the singer, who has been searching for years for a way to reach out to his former lover, and the chorus pleads for her to answer his calls.

Моя самая любимая песня. Могу слушать её бесконечно и она никогда не надоест. Как я рада , что родилась в золотую эпоху советского времени в далёком 1976 году, у нас было замечательное детство, очень хорошие песни под которые мы танцевали и подпевали,фильмы, советские мультфильмы. К сожалению сейчас этого нет,но зато остались добрые воспоминания и ностальгия. Хочется пожелать крепкого здоровья любимому певцу.😍🎸
