Hello, baby. Yeah, this is me. Hey, wait a minute now. Don't hang up
Now. I just wanna rap to you for a few minutes. I wanna try to get
To you and straighten out that little spat we had the other night
'Cause where we going now, things ain't just ain't gonna happen like
This now, you know? So let me talk to you for a minute, alright?
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend we're together all alone
I'll ask the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do?
Though love is blind, make up your mind, I've got to know
And you can tell him, or should I tell him, he'll have to go
Now you can't say the words I wanna hear
While you're with another man
If you want me, answer yes or no
And darling, I will understand
So put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
And let's pretend we're together all alone
I'll ask the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
He'll have to go
Say, baby, I'm gonna hang up right now, but I'll be by there
In a few minutes. I hope these few words found you well
'Cause things gonna be alright after we get ourselves together
Gotta look towards the silver lining, you understand?
