You said you need a little time

A little time to yourself

I'm staring down this telephone wonderin'

There might be someone else



If a man answers when I call

I'll just hang up, I won't say anything at all

If a man answers I know what I'll do

I'll lie here awake so I don't dream about you

If a man answers this time of night

At least I'll know somebody's holding you tight

If a man answers I won't call again

And I'll know where I stand while I twist in the wind



Oh baby, I'm just missin' you

I'm crazy still in love with you

I know my heart will break in two

If a man answers, if a man answers



I just gotta tell you girl

Maybe somehow make you see

How much I want you to come back to me

But if a man answers you'll never know

He'll let you sleep while I let you go



Oh baby, I'm just missin' you

I'm crazy still in love with you

I know my heart will break in two

If a man answers, if a man answers



If a man answers you'll never know

If a man answers I'll let you go

If a man answers this time of night

If a man answers he's holding you tight



If a man answers, if a man answers

If a man answers, if a man answers

If a man answers, oh if a man answers

If a man answers, if a man answers
