Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your mama said, that we won't make it through
The way they talk about our love, it just ain't fair
As long as I've got you with me, I just don't care
I wanna tell you that I've never felt a love like this before,
I've got a feeling taking over me and I'm 'bout to lose control
Don't leave me hanging out by the phone
I said call me (call me up)
Baby you're the one that I want
Ain't nobody on the other line
Why oh why you wanna waste my time?
Just call me, (call me up) just call me up baby tonight
Yeah eh yeah
All I wanna do is to hold you tight
And if loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
The way they talk about our love, it just ain't fair
As long as I've got you with me (I just don't care)
I wanna tell you that I've never felt a love like this before,
I've got this feeling taking over me and I'm 'bout to lose control
Won't you Just call me (call me up)
Don't leave me hanging out by the phone
