As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone

Hello
(Hello Loretta)

Darlin', 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 want to 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 darlin', tell me what to do
(But that's just it, that's what)
(I'm trying to tell you)
(I wanna tell you that)
I knew, you'd tell me they were wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone
(Oh, but it's true, they're not wrong)

Oh, no
(I'm sorry Loretta)
Oh, no (ooh-ooh)
I can't believe, that it's true
(I'm sorry Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)
Oh, no (ooh)
Oh, no (ooh)

I can't believe that we're through
(I know, you know that)
(I never thought it would come to this)
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
(You've just got to believe me)
(That I never meant to hurt you)

But I can't believe you've been 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)
