N..                               
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
                              
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
                                    
I know he's there, but I just got to call
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


                            
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
                    
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
                            
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
                                   
Oh, why can't we talk again
                                   
Oh, why can't we talk again
                  
Oh, why can't we talk again
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


N..                               
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
                             
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
                            
I want to tell you something you've known all along
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone


[Thought I'd better put the solo in since it absolutely rocks.]

N..                    
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
                                
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
                           
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
                                 
Oh, I can't control myself
                                 
Oh, I can't control myself
                              
Oh, I can't control myself
                                
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
      
Hang up and run to me
          
Woah, hang up and run to me
          
Woah, hang up and run to me
          
Woah, hang up and run to me
             
Woah oh oh oh oh run to me


Then the last part of the solo repeats once more -
