Woke up this morning I was all alone

Saw your picture by the telephone

I was missing you oh so bad

Wish I had you here to hold

All I've got is this touch-tone phone

So I guess I'll give you a call



Operator help me please

Get thru to my baby way overseas

Time's a wastin' oh so fast

Hello baby tell me is that you

I don't know what we're gonna do

But for now I'm glad I got you on the line



Well it feels so fine

Knowing you're all right

But you're miles away

Lord it's not the same



Well I woke up this morning I was all alone

Saw your picture by the telephone

I've been missing you baby oh so bad

I love you baby with all my might

Come on home and squeeze me tight

Long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mind



[spoken words as music fades]



You better come on home baby

I'm about to go crazy

Im tired a huggin' my pillow at night

It sure don't kiss as good as you

Know all them pictures you gave me?

Well them lips won't move at all

And them clothes in the closet

They look a lot better on you than they do on the hangers

Besides, I just can't wait to get my arms around you

Come on home
