The Phone Call
Oh, I've been driving all night long
And I'm finally in her town
Pulling off the freeway, looking for a telephone
As I dial the number from a booth outside, I call
Thinking about the last time, when I held her in my arms
Said hello, then I asked, "Can I see you tonight?"
Then, there was only silence on the line
Then she said
Oh, I'd really like to see you again
It's getting late, and I'm expecting a friend buddy
And after all, it just wouldn't be right
I think it's better that we say goodnight
And hang up the phone
The last time you came though this town
You built me up, then you let me down
And I'm being careful with this heart of mine
I've been getting along just fine without you
Oh, baby, before you go
Won't you please, let me explain?
I've changed a lot, since way back then
I'm a different kind of man
It took a while, but now, I know that I left the best behind
And I don't wanna sleep alone in some hotel room tonight
But no matter what I said, her voice was cold as ice
Even begged her to give me one last try
But she said
Oh, I'd really like to see you again
It's getting late, and I'm expecting a friend buddy
And after all, it just wouldn't be right
I think it's better that we say goodnight
And hang up the phone
The last time you came though this town
You built me up, then you let me down
And I'm being careful with this heart of mine
I've been getting along just fine without you
Then she said
I'm really sorry, but I have to go
And I'm finally in her town
Pulling off the freeway, looking for a telephone
As I dial the number from a booth outside, I call
Thinking about the last time, when I held her in my arms
Said hello, then I asked, "Can I see you tonight?"
Then, there was only silence on the line
Then she said
Oh, I'd really like to see you again
It's getting late, and I'm expecting a friend buddy
And after all, it just wouldn't be right
I think it's better that we say goodnight
And hang up the phone
The last time you came though this town
You built me up, then you let me down
And I'm being careful with this heart of mine
I've been getting along just fine without you
Oh, baby, before you go
Won't you please, let me explain?
I've changed a lot, since way back then
I'm a different kind of man
It took a while, but now, I know that I left the best behind
And I don't wanna sleep alone in some hotel room tonight
But no matter what I said, her voice was cold as ice
Even begged her to give me one last try
But she said
Oh, I'd really like to see you again
It's getting late, and I'm expecting a friend buddy
And after all, it just wouldn't be right
I think it's better that we say goodnight
And hang up the phone
The last time you came though this town
You built me up, then you let me down
And I'm being careful with this heart of mine
I've been getting along just fine without you
Then she said
I'm really sorry, but I have to go
