He'll Have To Go
Lester Lyrics

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone.
Come closer, let's pretend to be together, talk to me.

Let's pretend that we're together, all alone.
Imagine we're together right now, even though we're not.

I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low,
I'll ask the bar owner to lower the music, so we can talk.

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.
Tell your companion that he must leave us alone.

Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true,
Share your true feelings with me, do you really love me?

Or is he holding you the way I do?
Or is he holding you the way I do?

Tho' love is blind, make up your mind, I've got to know,
Although love can be confusing, decide what you want and let me know.

Should I hang up, or will you tell him he'll have to go?
Do I need to hang up or will you send your companion away?

You can't say the words I want to hear
You can't tell me what I want to hear.

While you're with another man,
While you're with someone else.

If you want me, answer "yes" or "no,"
If you want to be with me, just answer yes or no.

Darling, I will understand.
I'll understand and accept whatever you decide.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone.
Get closer to the phone, so we can talk more.

Let's pretend that we're together, all alone.
Continue to imagine we're alone, even though we're not.

I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low,
Let's repeat what we did before, tell the bar owner to lower the music.

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.
Again, tell your companion to leave and let us be.
