Waitin' for the Phone to Ring
Patty Loveless · Up Against My Heart [1991]
(Joe Tassi - Bob Tassi)
How many nights you cried so sad and lonely
Wondering if he'll call waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
He said his love was true you want to believe him
You're out there on a limb waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring.
How can you love a man when he holds you like dirt in the palm of his hand
His kind will always stray after he got through he'll throw you away
Another night goes by he's not there to hold you
You sit there like a fool waitin' for the phone to ring.
Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
Now baby, waitin' for the phone to ring.
