[Pre-Chorus]
Monday, Tuesday, three days and more
Pretty soon you don't know anymore
Friday, the sixth day, Saturday seems late
Don't know how much longer I can wait

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, could you wait 'til I get home?
Ooh, we need to be alone
And I don't want to lose
My love on the telephone

[Verse 1]
You make me nervous 'cause the line's engaged
I can't believe we let it get to this stage
Sitting here waiting for you to give me a sign
You know I got my heart on the line

[Chorus 2]
Ooh, I know that I was wrong
Ooh, I've been away too long
I can't stand to lose
My love on the telephone

[Bridge]
Hello operator
You know that I've been waiting on this call
I said, hey, operator
If you're giving me a bad time
I'm gonna tear this phone right off the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Monday, Tuesday, three days and more
Pretty soon I don't know anymore
Friday, the sixth day, Saturday seems late
Don't know how much longer I can wait

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, can't you wait 'til I get home?
Ooh, we need to be alone
And I don't want to lose
My love on the telephone

[Chorus 3]
Ooh, I'm running out of time
Ooh, my heart is on the line
And I don't want to lose
My love on the telephone

[Chorus 4]
Ooh, maybe I was wrong
Ooh, I've been away too long
And I can't stand to lose
My love on the telephone
