Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath
Hoping that it`s you, I`m scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice say hello, can I speak to Joe?
Wrong number, I`m sorry, good bye
Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don`t let me know
The phone rang once again, my heart skipped a beat
Must be you, this is my belief
Then the voice on the other end say can I speak to Ben?
Wrong number, I`m sorry, good bye
I live simply on the memory
Of your love that was once for me
Come back my darling please
And set my heart at ease
Then a voice say hello, darling you know I love you so
Hold on baby, `til I tell these blues good bye
`Til I tell these blues good bye
Hoping that it`s you, I`m scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice say hello, can I speak to Joe?
Wrong number, I`m sorry, good bye
Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don`t let me know
The phone rang once again, my heart skipped a beat
Must be you, this is my belief
Then the voice on the other end say can I speak to Ben?
Wrong number, I`m sorry, good bye
I live simply on the memory
Of your love that was once for me
Come back my darling please
And set my heart at ease
Then a voice say hello, darling you know I love you so
Hold on baby, `til I tell these blues good bye
`Til I tell these blues good bye
