Before verse starts

Verse 1

Some situations need a little heart

A tenderness that's hard to understand

 The falling in love for a start

can easily turn to the fall of a man

You can't run and hide even if you want to

Things must be done that should be done

 You can't run and hide when love's got you tangled

up on a tightrope your heart's on the run

Chorus

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

There's no way you can hang up

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

 Well, are you ready to fall in love?

Interlude

Verse 2

And everybody needs a reason

could be a dream of fire and ice

 And you and me, we need each other

 we need to be on each other's minds

Yes, some situations need a little heart

to take to the sea with the sails unfurled

The falling in love for a start

can easily turn to the fall of a girl

Chorus

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

There's no way you can hang up

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

 Well, are you ready to fall in love?

Trumpet solo

Chorus

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

There's no way you can hang up

 When love's on the phone

 You just have to answer

 Well, are you ready to fall in love? x 2
