Hanging On The Telephone - Blondie


Im in the phone booth, its the one across the hall

If you dont answer, I'll just ring it off the wall

I know whos there, but I just had to call

Dont leave me hanging on the telephone

Dont leave me hanging on the telephone


I heard your mother now shes 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 cant we talk again

Oh, why cant we talk again

Oh, why cant we talk again

Dont leave me hanging on the telephone

Dont leave me hanging on the telephone


Its good to hear your voice, you know its been so long

If I dont get your call then everything goes wrong

I want to tell you something youve known all along

Dont leave me hanging on the telephone


(guitar)


I had to interrupt and stop this conversation

Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation

Id like to talk when I can show you my affection

Oh, I cant control myself

Oh, I cant control myself

Oh, I cant control myself

Dont 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 and run to me
