Why Haven't I Heard From You

-Verse 1

Well back in 1876 an old boy named Bell

Invented a contraption that we know so well

By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home

It's a crazy little thing they call the telephone

Now there's one on every corner

In the back of every bar

You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane, or in your car



-Chorus

So tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)

Tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)

I said now darling, honey

What is your excuse?

Why haven't I heard from you?



-Verse 2

Well there's no problem getting to me, baby

You can dial direct

I got call forward and call waiting

You can even call collect

The service man, he told me

That my phone was working fine

And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line

I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through

So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you



-Chorus

So tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)

Tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)

I said now darling, honey

What is your excuse?

Why haven't I heard from you?



-Bridge



There better been a flood, a landslide of mud

A fire that burns up the wires

And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud

A natural disaster I know nothin' about



-Chorus

So tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)

Tell me why (why)

Haven't I (haven't I)

Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)

I said now darling, honey

What is your excuse?

Why haven't I heard from you?

(Repeat)
