Hanging On the Telephone Songtext
von Jimmy Somerville

I′m in the phone booth
It's the one across the hall
If you don′t answer, I'll just bring it off the wall
I know he's here, but I just had to call
Don′t leave me hanging on the telephone

I heard your mother now
She′s going out the door
Did she go to work, or just go to the store?
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Oh, why can′t we talk again?
Oh, why can't we talk again?
Don′t leave me hanging on the telephone


It's good to hear your voice
You know it′s been so long
If I don't get your call, then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don′t leave me hanging on the telephone
Ooh, don′t leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt, to stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a string sensation
I like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh, I can't control myself
Oh, I can′t control myself
Ooh, I can't control myself
Don′t leave me hanging on the telephone

No, don't leave me hanging on
Don′t leave me hanging on
Hanging on, hanging on the telephone

Hang up, and run to me
Hang up, and run to me
Hang up, and run to me
Hang up, and run to me
