As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone

Hello

Hello, Loretta

Darling, I knew it was you

(Loretta, there's something I just got to tell you)

Oh, please, tell me what to do

(I don't really know how to say this but I wanna tell you that I)

You gave me the will to go on

As soon as I picked up the phone

(No, no, you don't understand, Loretta, I'm trying to tell you that I)

The talk is around that we're through

(Yeah, I know, I've heard it too)

Oh, darling, tell me what to do

(But that's just it, that's what I'm trying to tell you, I want to tell you that)

I knew that you'd tell me they were wrong

As soon as I picked up the phone

(Ah, but it is true, they're not wrong)

Oh no, oh no

(I'm sorry, Loretta)

I can't believe that it's true

(I'm sorry, Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)

Oh no, oh no

I can't believe that we're through

(I know you know that I never thought it would come to this, I)

You tell me it's over and done

(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)

You say that you've had all your fun

(And you just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you)

But I can't believe you'll be gone

(This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too)

As soon as I hang up the phone

(Yeah, I'll be gone)

As soon as I hang up the phone

(Goodbye, Loretta)
