Your old voice comes through the wire
Then it's not there at all
I'm left holding this piece of plastic
Wondering why did you call
Is it just a bad connection
Should I hang up and try again
Is it just my imagination
Or is another call coming in
You got to hold me, I cry
Will you hold, you reply
I want you to hold me
But you just put my love on hold
I can't get a word in edgewise
Thinking all the things that you do
I can feel you reach for the button
When the talk turns away from you
It's been such a long, long distance
Such a long, long time
But how can I make contact
When there's no one on the line
You got to hold me, I cry
Will you hold, you reply
I want you to hold me
But you just put my love on hold
Hold me, I cry
Will you hold, you reply
I want you to hold me
But you just put my love on hold
Hold me, I cry
Will you hold, you reply
I want you to hold me
But you just put my love on hold
Put my love on hold
And I'm crying
Hold me, I cry
Will you hold, you reply
I don't wanna cry
Hold me, I cry
Don't you put my love on hold
Put my love, put my love on hold
Will you hold me, I cry
I can't wait, yeah
Will you hold, you reply
Hold me, I cry
Don't you put my love on hold
