[Verse 1]
With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall
She pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter
'Cause there's nothing to be said

[Verse 2]
He calls from work to tell her
He's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words
She'll forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringing
And he knows that something's wrong
He feels his heart start pounding
And his head begins to spin

[Chorus]
Phones are ringing all over town
North and south and east and west
On Main Street up and down
He's got friends of his calling friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringing all over town
[Verse 3]
He's called the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair
God, if something ever happened
He'd surely lose his mind
And he's thinking it's just like she's disappeared into thin air
As American flight #204 departed right on time

[Chorus]
Phones are ringing all over town
North and south and east and west
On Main Street up and down
He's got friends of his calling friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringing all over town

[Outro]
Well, he knows she'd never leave him
She's just got to be around
Phones are ringing
Phones are ringing
Phones are ringing all over town
