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 (2x)
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 (3x)
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone (2x)
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 (3x)
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me,
Oh, hang up and run to me (3x)
Oh ooooh oh oh oh, hang up and run to me
