Lyrics

Monday morning and things go wrong Without you oh, it's been so long I dial your number, your crazy number I wanna talk to you, I ain't come through I'm on the road, but I need you here So the room blows me to dispair I'm on the telephone when something's going wrong I wanna talk to you, I ain't come through Oh, what a disaster Don't go away I don't wanna lose you this way Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone All I want is a little conversation You will take away my frustration I ask the operator and he says: "try it later" I'm on the telephone, and something's going wrong The receiver pressed against my ear But there ain't nothing to hear I'm dialing numbers, so many numbers I'm on the telephone, and something's going wrong Oh, what a disaster Don't go away I don't wanna lose you this way Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone I wanna smash the phone I wanna scream It's like I'm in a bad dream Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone Don't leave me waiting on the telephone (The line is engaged) (Oh, I'm in a hurry, please connect me) (I'm sorry caller, the line is still engaged) Don't leave me waiting on the telephone (Oh please you must help me I have to talk to my boyfriend) Don't leave me waiting on the telephone (The line is occupied, please ring afterwards) (Oh please, don't cut me off) (Don't leave me waiting on the telephone) The line is engaged) (Oh I really must speak to him, please try it one more time) (Don't leave me waiting on the telephone) The line is engaged The line is engaged (Don't leave me waiting on the telephone)
