Lyrics

Hello, how are you? Have you been alright through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely nights? That's what I'd say I'd tell you everything if you'd pick up that telephone Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, how ya feelin'? Are you still the same? Don't you realise the things we did, we did Were all for real? Not a dream I just can't believe they've all faded out of view Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Doo-wop, doo-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-lang Blue days, black nights, doo-wah, doo-lang I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through) And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't coming true) Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight Okay, so no one's answering Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer? Oh I'll just sit tight, in shadows of the night Let it ring forevermore, oh-whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah Doo-wop, doo-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-lang Blue days, black nights, doo-wah, doo-lang I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through) And I wonder why (the little things you planned ain't coming true) Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time I'm living in twilight
