I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall 
 If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall 
 I know he's there, but I just had to call 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone 
 I heard your mother now she's going out the door 
 Did she go to work or just go to the store 
 All those things she said, I told you to ignore 
 Oh why can't we talk again 
 Oh why can't we talk again 
 Oh why can't we talk again 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone 
    It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long 
 If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong 
 I want to tell you something you've known all along 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone   
 I had to interrupt and stop this conversation 
 Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation 
 I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection 
 Oh I can't control myself 
 Oh I can't control myself 
 Oh I can't control myself 
 Don't leave me hanging on the telephone   
 Hang up and run to me 
 Whoah, hang up and run to me 
 Whoah, hang up and run to me 
 Whoah, hang up and run to me 
 Whoah oh oh oh run to me
