Person to Person Songtext
von Average White Band

Telephone line, bad connection
And I′m half asleep
Makin' conversation with you should be easy
But it ain′t
Wish you could be with me
There would be no problem
Our communication's bad
And I want to see you again

Oh baby, person to person, face to face
You gotta be with me child
Person to person, I just got to hold it in my arms
Person to person, something we can't replace, no no no
Person to person, ′cause that′s what love demands


Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar
But what can I do?
Working hard on the other side of the world
Might as well be on the moon
Wish that I could write it all down
And put it in a letter to you
Feelin' like I do right now
That′s why I just got to be

Person to person, face to face (only way to be)
Person to person, one to one, just you and me baby
Person to person, something we just can't replace no
Person to person, that′s what love demands

Wanna pck my telephone baby
Imma dial your number
It's one and two, three and four, I got it don′t you know, I tell ya
No baby, I can't take it
No baby, no baby
No no way that I can fake it

Person to person, you got me speaking a little bit personally
It's the only way for me
Person to person, o yeah yeah


Person to person, face to face, I wanna be with you child
Person to person, I just can′t hold it in my arms
Person to something, something we can′t replace no no
Person to person, gotta get next to you
Person to person, losing sleep over you
Person to person whoo
Person to person, oh doll right
Person to person
