Standard (EADGBE)

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

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.]

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 -

...and thats it.
