Don't Forget to Wait for the Tone(Pat Robinson, Dick Holler) |
Friends say I'm lookin' fine It only takes a little time Everybody sees the lines between the creases They know not to mention her name Things are just about the same But when I hear the telephone ring, I go to pieces BRIDGE #1
She's the only one I wanna talk to
But I'm afraid of what she's gonna say
CHORUS #1
Hey … you know I'm not at home
But I'll get right back, just leave your name and number Wait … until you hear the tone As a matter of fact, I'll be here alone Don't forget to wait for the tone
I'm tryin' not to let it show I want to, but I don't want to know My heart's just been put on hold, and I'm hangin' Every time I hear the phone I'm hopin' that she'll come on home If I knew she was gonna stay gone, I'd let it keep ringin' BRIDGE #2
And I'd let that phone ring on forever
So she could never tell me goodbye
CHORUS #1 CHORUS #2
Hey … you know I'm not at home
But I'll get right back, just leave your name and number Wait … until you hear the tone As a matter of fact, I'll be here alone Don't forget to hurry on home |
