My Telephone Is Ringing
Early this morning
My telephone is ringing
But I'm afraid to answer
It's a quarter to three and it's you calling me
But I don't wanna see what you have to say
What you'll tell
I know you're gonna tell me that you've found someone else
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
I let it ring
I knew that it was coming
I knew that it was due
All the thrill of your tongue
The want of your heart
The spark in your eyes
And the place of your kisses are gone
And that's how I knew
It wouldn't be long
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
I let it ring (ring, ring, ring, ring, ring)
All of these gone
There's no surprise to me (there's no, no surprise to me)
You've done it before, so I know it's only us three
So the phone will keep on ringing
But I just won't answer
I know before long this thrill would be gone
I knew it a lot that you're not in my heart would sink
And that's why I'm pretending I can't hear it ring
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring on louder ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring on louder ring)
Oh, baby I'll let it ring
Oh, I want it long (ring on louder ring)
Oh, I want it long (ring on louder ring)
My telephone is ringing
But I'm afraid to answer
It's a quarter to three and it's you calling me
But I don't wanna see what you have to say
What you'll tell
I know you're gonna tell me that you've found someone else
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
I let it ring
I knew that it was coming
I knew that it was due
All the thrill of your tongue
The want of your heart
The spark in your eyes
And the place of your kisses are gone
And that's how I knew
It wouldn't be long
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
I let it ring (ring, ring, ring, ring, ring)
All of these gone
There's no surprise to me (there's no, no surprise to me)
You've done it before, so I know it's only us three
So the phone will keep on ringing
But I just won't answer
I know before long this thrill would be gone
I knew it a lot that you're not in my heart would sink
And that's why I'm pretending I can't hear it ring
And so I'll let it ring (ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring on louder ring)
Oh ring on (ring)
Oh ring on (ring on louder ring)
Oh, baby I'll let it ring
Oh, I want it long (ring on louder ring)
Oh, I want it long (ring on louder ring)
