[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
Early this morning, my telephone is ringing
But I'm afraid to answer
It's a quarter to three, and it's you calling me
But I don't wanna see what you have to say for yourself
I know you're gonna tell me that you've found someone else

[Refrain: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
And so I let it ring (Ring), a-ring on (Ring)
A-ring on (Ring), a-ring on (Ring)
I let it ring

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
I knew that it was coming, I knew that it was due
'Cause the thrill of your charm, the warmth of your arms
The spark of your eyes and the bliss of your kisses are gone
And that's how I knew it wouldn't be long

[Refrain: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
And so I let it ring (Ring), ring on (Ring)
A-ring on (Ring), a-ring on (Ring)
I let it ring (Ring, ring, ring, ring on)

[Bridge: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
All of this comes as no surprise to me
(It comes as no surprise to me)
You done it bеfore, and so I know it's only us three
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks]
So the phone will keep on ringing, but I just won't answеr
I know before long this fear will be gone
And you realize that you're mine and my heart will sing
And that's why I'm pretending I can't hear it ring

[Outro: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
And so I let it ring (Ring), ring on (Ring)
A-ring on (Ring a little), a-ring on (Ring, ring)
A-ring on (Ring a little, ring)
Oh, oh (Ring a little)
Baby, I let it ring (Ring a little, ring, ring)
All the morning long (Ring a little, ring, ring)
All the morning long (Ring a little)
