Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Try and breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never be together
My courage is at it's peak
You know what I mean
[Chorus]
How do say you're okay to an answering machine?
How do you say good night to an answering machine?
[Verse 2]
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices
A handful of friends, one needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
[Chorus]
How do you say I miss you to an answering machine?
How do say good night to an answering machine?
[Verse 3]
Try and free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance
[Chorus]
How do you say I miss you to an answering machine?
How do say good night to an answering machine?
How do you say I'm lonely to an answering machine?
[Outro]
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
