                                 D#
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
Gm                              D#
 If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
Gm                     D#
 I know he's there, but I just got to call

Chorus:
               D#              Fsus4  Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the tele - phone
               D#              Fsus4  Gm
Don't leave me hanging on the tele - phone

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

                 Cm         Gm
Oh, why can't we talk again
                 Cm         Gm
Oh, why can't we talk again
                 Cm
Oh, why can't we talk again

Chorus

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's
been so long
If I don't get your calls, then everything
goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along

Chorus:
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

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

Chorus:
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me (oh)
Hang up and run to me
Oh, woah, woah, woah
Run to me, yeah
