Hanging on the Telephone
Hey Lyrics

I am in the phone booth
I am currently in a phone booth

It's the one across the hall
The phone booth is directly across the hall from my current location

If you don't answer
If you do not answer the phone when I call

I'll just ring it off the wall
I will keep calling the phone non-stop until you answer or until the phone falls off the wall

I know he's there
I am aware that you are there

But I just had to call
I felt the need to call you even though I know you are present

Don't leave me
Please do not abandon me

Hanging on the telephone
Leaving me waiting for a response after calling you

I heard your mother
I listened to a conversation involving your mother

Now she's going out the door
She is about to leave through the door

Did she go to work
Is she leaving for work?

Or just go to the store
Maybe she is just going to the store?

All the things she said
The words she spoke earlier

I told you to ignore
I advised you to disregard those words

Oh why can't we talk again?
Why can't we communicate once more?

It's good to hear your voice
I appreciate the sound of your voice

You know it's been so long
It's been a significant amount of time since we last spoke

If I don't get your calls
If I do not speak with you on the phone

Then everything goes wrong
My life becomes complicated and difficult without your presence

I want to tell you something
I have something important that I want to share with you

You know what I love
You are aware of what it is that I feel deeply about

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
I had to abruptly end our current discussion

Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
Hearing your voice while speaking on the phone creates a perplexing feeling inside of me

I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
I would prefer to speak with you when I am given the chance to express my fondness for you

Oh I can't control myself
I feel an overwhelming sense of emotion that is difficult to contain
