Lonesome 7-7203

Had our number changed today

Although I hated to

But each time the phone would ring

They'd want to speak to you.



And it hurts to tell them

You're not here with me

Maybe now oh telephone

Will let me be.



It's not in the book now

So you'd better write it down

Just in case your love for me

Should ever come around.



You might want to call

And break the news to me

Just dial Lonesome

7-7203.



--- Instrumental ---



I keep the telephone

Beside me all the time

Hoping you might want to call

And say you've changed your mind.



If you do

Then darling you know where I'll be

I'm at Lonesome

7-7203.



You're the only one

I'm givin' out new number to

So now if the telephone should ring

I'll know it's you.



If you ever long for love

that used to be

just call Lonesome

7-7203...
