Call You On The Telephone

heaven knows i've lived without love
twenty-seven years and a lack thereof
then you come around with a smile
would it be too much if you stayed a while?

call you on the telephone
called the rest of the week but you were never home

minute men could race in my mind
still that second hand won't move half the time
sure as lovebirds sing a song in spring
if you were around would you hear it ring?

call you on the telephone
called the rest of the week but you were never home
call you on the telephone
called the rest of the week but you were never home

i need you, baby, to need me lately
i'm lonely, so lonely
yes i am, yes i am
