I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hallnIf you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wallnI know he's there, but I just had to callnnDon't leave me hanging on the telephonennI heard your mother now she's going out the doornDid she go to work or just go to the storenAll those things she said, I've chosen to ignorennOh why can't we talk againnDon't leave me hanging on the telephonennIt's good to hear your voice you know it's been so longnIf I don't get your calls then everything goes wrongnI want to tell you something you've known all alongnnDon't leave me hanging on the telephonennI had to interrupt and stop this conversationnYour voice across the line gives me a strange sensationnI'd like to talk when I can show you my affectionnnOh, I can't control myselfnDon't leave me hanging on the telephonenHang up and run to me
