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 tried 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

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been too long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
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 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
Oh hang up and run to me
Oh hang up and run to me
Oh hang up and run to me
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa run to me

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya

One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya
I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya

I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down I'll see who's around

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll get ya, I'll get ya

One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya
I'll meet ya, ah
And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll slip outta here for another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip

I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can se it all, find out who you call
Lead you to the supermarket, check out some specials and rat food
Get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna get ya
I'll get ya
I'll get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
[Where I can see it all, find out who you call]

[Repeat to fade]

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view, oh-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa

I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower
I will give you my finest hour, oh yeah

All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you

Picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oh-whoa
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh yeah

All I want is 20/20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, oh-whoa
If you can

Picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oh-whoa
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer, try to do what you used to do
Yeah

Ooh baby, I hear how you spend my time
Wrapped like candy in a blue, blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate, fade away, radiate

Ooh baby, watch the lines vibrate soft in brain-wave time
Silver pictures move so slow, golden tubes faintly glow

Electric faces seem to merge, hidden voices mock your words
Fade away, radiate, fade away and radiate

Beams become my dream, my dream is on the screen
Dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955
Fade away and radiate, fade away and radiate

The beams become my dream, my dream is on the screen
Fade away and radiate, fade away and radiate
Fade away and radiate, fade away and radiate

Stars live in the evening but the very young need the sun
Ah-ha

Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
I was forming, some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche

Ya-ya baby, "La Dolce Vita" is a magic dance
No one was listening
Pretty baby, petite ingenue
Teenage starlet, I fell in love with you

You, you with the comb
You look okay in every way, oh, ah
I, I should have known
You'd look at me then look away, oh

Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
Eyes that tell me "Incense and peppermints."
Your looks are larger than life, long live innocence
Petite ingenue
I fell in love with you

Pretty baby, I fell in love with you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Pretty baby, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Pretty baby, oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
I fell in love with you

Hey, you know?
I, I don't know

I know but I don't know, I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know, I know but I don't know

I give but I don't get
I will but I won't yet
I lose but I don't bet
I'm your dog but not your pet

Now I know but I don't care
Then I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I care but I don't care

I could but I won't be
You can but not with me
It's all a mystery
Locked out without a key

Now I care but I don't care
And I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I know but I don't know

Now I know that you don't know
And I see that you don't see
I care but I don't care
I don't care that you don't know

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientists don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten, time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get out of here, you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive

Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive

Hanging on a frequency, burning like a byre
Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here, time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive

I always said you could make it
I know what I said and I meant it
I always liked the way you played guitar
I always knew that someday you'd go far

And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?

You said you'd be through here again
Please don't forget I'm here waiting
You always said that you would never change
Like the people that you've met and the places that you've been

And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?

I always said you could make it
Just don't forget that I said it
'Cause I always liked the way you played guitar
And I always knew that someday you'd go far

And if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?

And if I do, will anything happen?

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice-cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday Girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday Girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday Girl
Baby I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday Girl
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday Girl
When I saw you again in the Summer time
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's Girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues, please, please
Please come see what you're doing to me
I got the blues

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up
Please come see what you're doing to me

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind

In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside adorable illusion and I cannot hide

We coulda made it cruisin' yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh oh-oh

Oh-whoa don't you know
I don't wanna see you anymore
Put up or shut up, ooh-ooh-ooh
You spell, you read, D-O-O-R

You got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
You're foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be
If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the federal communications board
Don't be cruel, be a thing, sweet thing, as a rule
Don't be sad I left you in the street, you're pre-fab, I had to get away

Don't go away sad [Get out]
Don't go pre-fab [Pack up]
Don't go be bad [Move out]
Don't go away mad [Get out]
Just go away [Go away]

Oh-whoa don't you know
I don't wanna see you here no more
Pack it and move it, ooh-ooh-ooh
You spell, you read, O-U-T, out
Don't be bad, a mad hatter's beret
Sometimes you look like you just made an escape
Don't be mad or lose your Medicaid cool
Of course cool rhymes with fool

Don't go be bad [Get out]
'Cause you been had [Pack up]
Don't go away sad [Move out]
Don't go away mad [Get out]
Just go away [Go away]

Oh-whoa oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Pack it and move it, ooh-ooh-ooh
You spell, you read, O-U-T, out
You got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
