What can I get
you on the telephone?
It always seems like you're never home
But I know that you are
cause all your friends have told me
so I even had the operator
check the light
But she came back and
said everything's fine
But if everything is okay,
then why can't I get through?
So I listen to the telephone
ring off the wall
Hoping that you'll take the call
Now it's clear to me what
I've been missing
All in all, I realize I've been a fool
I know I said we'd never be apart
I never meant to break your heart
I could fix it if you'd
just answer
I'm in the clomox just across the way
You don't pick up so I dial again
I even left a message
which you haven't called me back
I saw your sister
and I asked her what to do
She said keep trying
but I'm still not getting through
Now it seems that you just took
the handset off the hook
So I listen to the busy signal
All I've done,
waiting till the phone's back on
And now I see how it all makes sense
Since you've been gone
I understand what I did wrong
I know I said we'd always be together
An d I would love you always and forever
I could fix it if you'd just answer
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
So I listen to the telephone
ringing off the wall
Hoping that you'll take the call
Now it's clear to me what
I've been missing
And all in all, I realize I've been a fool
I know I said we'd never be apart
I never meant to break your heart
I ain't conviction if you just don't
saw
Bye
