i''ll ring you in the morning but the phone''s been cut
can you hear me i''ve been calling all day
can you hear me
the radio reporter said the line''s all dead
he told me that i oughta write a letter instead
can you hear i''ve been calling all day
can you hear me

chorus
i''d wish they''d fix the wires cause my baby won''t know
that i''m leaving in the morning and i''m ready to go
can you hear me
can you hear me at all
gotta get the operator make a telephone call

and if i write a letter it won''t get there on time
i''ll only reach you baby on the telephone line
can you hear me
i''ve been calling all day
can you hear me
my car''s already and my bags are all packed
i''m late already and i won''t be back
can you hear me
i''ve been calling all day
can you hear me

repeat chorus

ooo can you hear me
