Lyrics
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me too?
Or is he holding you the way I do?
Though love is blind, make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him
He'll have to go?
You can say the words I wanna hear
When you're with some other man
Do you want to answer yes or no
Darling, I will understand
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go
You can say the words I wanna hear
When you're with some other man
Do you want to answer yes or no
Darling, I will understand
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you
He'll have to go
