The Nerves - Hanging On The Telephone

Verse 1

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

Chorus

Don't leave me

Hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me

Ganging on the telephone

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Don't leave me

Hanging on the telephone

Don't leave me

Ganging on the telephone

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation

Your voice across the line

Gives me a strange sensation

I'd like to talk

Wen 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

Outro

Hang up and run to me

Hang up and run to me

Hang up and run to me

Hang up and run to me

Run to me
