Telephone
Words and Music by Mark Nesmith

The telephone is ringing
I don’t want to pick up the line
There’s a voice on the other side that makes me want to die
It’s been almost three weeks
Since you packed your things to leave
And said you were going back home to see your family
You still call to hear my voice
Why don’t you want to see my face?
Holding hands on the telephone, baby it just ain’t the same

So why don’t you just hang up the phone
And leave well enough alone
I’m not fine, I pass my time with a worried mind
I’m thinking about who you’re with
And who’s keeping you warm at night
And wondering what I did so wrong that made you walk right out of my life


You called two times yesterday
Always with the same thing to say
You miss me so bad, you just had to give me a call
But you’re not ready to come back home
You still need a little more time
But baby if I can’t have all of you, then I can’t have you at all

So why don’t you just hang up the phone
And leave well enough alone
I’m not fine, I pass my time with a worried mind
I’m thinking about who you’re with
And who’s keeping you warm at night
And wondering what I did so wrong that made you walk right out of my life
