I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall. If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall. I know he's there but I just had to call.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone. Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I heard your mother now she's going out the door. Did she go to work or just go to the store? All those things she said I told you to ignore. Oh why can't we talk again? Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me...
It's good to hear your voice you know it's been so long. If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong. I want to tell you something you've known all along.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone. Oh yeah!
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation. Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation. I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection. Oh I can't control myself! Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone. Oh hang there unrelieved! Oh hang there...
I want to live, I want to give. I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give that keep me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood. I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold. I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line that keeps me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold. And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold...
When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way.
And now these days are gone I'm not so self assured. Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can I'm feeling down. And I do appreciate you being 'round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won't you please please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seems to vanish in the haze. But every now and then I feel so insecure. I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can...
When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. And now these days are gone I'm not so self assured. Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors.
Oh, help me if you can I'm feeling down. And I do appreciate you being 'round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won't you please please help me? Help me help me ooh.
You're no good, heartbreaker, you're a liar and you're a cheat. I don't know why I let you do these things to me. My friends keep telling me. You're no good, but they don't know that I'd leave you if I could. I guess I'm uptight, but I'm stuck like glue.
Cause I never, I never, I never, no no loved a man the way that I, I love you.
Some time ago I thought you should run out of fools, but I was so wrong. You've got one you'll never lose. The way you treat me is a shame, how could you hurt me so bad? Baby you know that I'm the best thing that you ever had. Kiss me once again, don't you never say that we're through.
Cause I never...
I can't sleep at night and I can't eat a bite. I guess Ill never be free since I've got your hooks in me. I never loved a man the way that I love you. You're no good, heartbreaker, you're a liar and you're a cheat. I don't know why I let you do these things to me. My friends keep telling me. You're no good, but they don't know that I'd leave you if I could. Kiss me once again, don't you never say that we're through.
Cause I never...
Here she comes, she's all dressed up in daisies. Half the time you'd swear that she is crazy. A fancy smile, a fancy dress - that's the way we know her best. She says she is busy - we don't mind. 'Cos every night she works overtime.
Oh Marie, we sure hope you're happy. Oh Marie, what would life be without Marie.
She likes to drive those cars you find in movies. And every song she hears, she thinks is groovy. One day she'll buy some coats of fur, instead of spending time with Blur. She says that Rolf is hard to please. Knowing her, he's on his knees.
Oh Marie...
Here she comes, she tries to make connections. The management is asking for perfection. Her mobile phone goes overload, she's busy dialin' some country code. She speaks fluent French, forget the rest. 'Cos it's the small unsound, we love the best.
Oh Marie...
Without Marie.
So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? Then listen now to what I say. Just get an electric guitar then take some time and learn how to play. And with your hair swung right and your pants too tight it's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right.
Then it's time to go downtown where the agent man won't let you down. Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there to sell plastic ware. And in a week or two if you make the charts the girls'll tear you apart.
The price you paid for your riches and fame was it all a strange game? You're a little insane the money, the fame, the public acclaim. Don't forget what you are. You're a rock 'n' roll star! La-la-la-la...
