This bag of telephone talk, a time fi reach!
Face to face we must meet, man

That's why you keep on calling on di telephone line

When mi hang up di phone mi keep right in her mind
As mi talk to di girl upon di telephone line
When mi hang up, mi just a ride her mind
[Verse 2: JC Lodge]
When you call I feel so good, wish you were livin' in my neighborhood
So you can hang up the phone and rush on over
Pick up where we left off under the cover
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

[Verse 3: Shabba Ranks]
If she is mine, she just see mi all di time
If she is dead, she hear mi all di time
She say, mi sweeta than di corn is wine
And, gone tell di world mi har darin divine
Deh pon mi, deh pon mi, deh pon mi, deh pon mi mind
If mi talk to di girl upon di telephone line
Talkin bout love yuh know mi spend nuh time
If mi talk to di girl upon di telephone line

[Interlude: JC Lodge]
If anyone else could see me, they would never understand
I'm just living out my fantasy....
Talk your love, with my mind

[Chorus: JC Lodge]

Whatever you do, don't hang up, don't hang up
Just keep pourin it out till you fill the cup

Back under the cover (As a matta a fact mi come ova deh now)
Your so good to me, I need you desperately
Telephone lover, telephone lover, I need you desperately
