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-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 impatiently
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
please forgive and then forget
or maybe darling better yet, oh-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 impatiently
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
