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, 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 here patiently

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

If we're giving up again

Or maybe it's all a matter of when

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 here patiently

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?

Oh, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?

Oh, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?

Oh, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring

Why don't you give me a call?
