Call Me Up (The Phone Is in the Cradle)

Kenny Rogers · Gideon [1980]

My friends they don't talk much 'bout the legend

My friends they don't talk much anyway

When they do, I know I better listen

'Cause my good friends just naturally know the right things to say.

They say:



Call me up, the phone is in the cradle

Get yourself a liver to my door,

But if you saw any plan and if you got the time,

We could talk the night away.



I don't get so lonely and I've gotta

He said, it's tough to be the only man alive,

He said, I'd give a river for just somebody to talk to

We're thinking in lighting out for biting, we came strolling by. She said:



Call me up, the phone is in the cradle

Get yourself a liver to my door,

But if you saw any plan and if you got the time,

We could talk the night away.



Now Rosy was a queen of the all night cowboy

She said, Texas boy using kind of shy

Don't you expect the nimble's invitation, just knock on the wall

Track down the hall and drop on by.

She said:



Call me up, the phone is in the cradle

Get yourself a liver to my door,

But if you saw any plan and if you got the time,

We could talk the night away...
