Emergency

I never thought there'd come a time

When someone else could tap my line

On hold my woman's love

I have expecting you to still be mine, yeah

Time comes around, I'm knowing I should be there

'Cause when I call her

A line that's always been clear

Is busy at the strangest hours

Operator got to have your help

This is an emergency

Please interrupt the line

He's trying to beat my time

Emergency, that's what I'm making

Tell her love is on the phone

I know I left her all alone

But this time I got my signals straight

When love calls she won't have to wait

Try the line one more time

This woman is much too rare for me to give her up

Knowing that love's still there

'Cause all at once it came to me

Now operator got to let me please

This is an emergency

Please, won't you put me through?

Or she'll have somebody new

Emergency, that's what I'm making

'Cause my heart is aching

This is an emergency

I don't care about the charge

I'm suffering from a broken heart

Emergency, in the name of love, yeah

So won't you help me out?

This is an emergency

He's trying to beat my time

Emergency, in the name of love, yeah
