I was sitting by the phone

I was waiting all alone

Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you

It's a dark and dreary night Seems like nothing's going right

Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?



Yes I'm down and feeling blue

And I don't know what to do, oh-oh



Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all

Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall

And I sit all alone impatiently

Won't you please understand the need in me

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?



You were here and now you're gone

Hey did I do something wrong?

I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken

Was it me or was it you?

Tell me, are we really through?

Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking



Please forgive and then forget

Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh



Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all

Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall

And I sit all alone impatiently

Won't you please understand the need in me

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
