I try to make sense of your words
I try to read between the lines
but I conclude another day's search without you
an endless dial away
if it's my presence you desire
and it's not these dots that you require
if it's the pain of living alone
"I love you"'s a meaningless dial away
can I tell you how it's hanging?
talk and get back understanding?
it seems like that, but tell me, baby
yeah...
you're just too perfect to be true
and i can't stand talking to you
if it's too late, well
maybe I'll call if you're there
an empty dial away
can I tell you how it's hanging?
talk and get back understanding?
it seems like that, but tell me, baby
yeah...
I wish that we could all know
better than now so we wouldn't feel so dumb
and I wish something would happen soon
so we'd avoid such embarrassing calls
how about if I told you, hmm, frankly
how about if you said: "this calls for some action!
come, let's go,"
I understand that I'm the one
who should call you up and sound like fun
maybe I'll get you, maybe I won't
but just know
I'm no more than a dial away
tell me how it's hanging
get back understanding
tell me, baby
yeah...
