I was sitting by the phone

I was waiting all alone

baby by myself

I sit and wait and wonder about you

it's a dark and dreary night

seems like nothing's going right

won't you tell me honey

how can I go on here without you

yes, I'm down and feeling blue

and I don't know what to do, oh-oh



Ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

ring, ring

the happiest sound of them all

ring, ring

I stare at the phone on the wall

and I sit all alone impatiently

won't you please understand the need in me

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call



You were here and now you're gone

hey did I do something wrong

I just can't believe that I could be

so badly mistaken

was it me or was it you

tell me, are we really through

won't you hear me cry

and you will know that my heart is breaking

please forgive and then forget

or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh



Ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

ring, ring

the happiest sound of them all

ring, ring

I stare at the phone on the wall

and I sit all alone impatiently

won't you please understand the need in me

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call
