It always seems like you're never home
cause all your friends have told me
so I even had the operator
But if everything is okay,
then why can't I get through?
So I listen to the telephone
Hoping that you'll take the call
Now it's clear to me what
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'm in the clomox just across the way
You don't pick up so I dial again
which you haven't called me back
and I asked her what to do
but I'm still not getting through
Now it seems that you just took
So I listen to the busy signal
waiting till the phone's back on
And now I see how it all makes sense
I understand what I did wrong
I know I said we'd always be together
And I would love you always and forever
I could fix it if you'd just answer
So I listen to the telephone
Hoping that you'll take the call
Now it's clear to me what
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
