I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone
Baby, by myself
I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me, honey
How can I go on here without you?
Yes, I'm down and feeling blue
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring
The happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me?
So, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone
Hey, did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be
So badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry
And you will know that my heart is breaking?
Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe, darling, better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
Ring, ring
The happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring
I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me?
So, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?

Oh-oh, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
Oh-oh, ring, ring
Why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring
