Telephone Line (different vocal) Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That′s what I'd say, I′d tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, how're you feelin′?
Are you still the same?
Don′t you realise the things we did, we did, were all for real?
Not a dream
I just can't believe they′ve all faded out of view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Do-wop, doobie do-do-wop)
(Do-wah, do-lang)
(Blue days, black nights)
(Do-wah, do-lang)


I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things you planned ain′t coming true)

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight

Okay, so no one's answering
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer
Oh, I′ll just sit tight
In shadows of the night
Let it ring forevermore, oh-woh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Do-wop, doobie do-do-wop)
(Do-wah, do-lang)
(Blue days, black nights)
(Do-wah, do-lang)

I look into the sky
(The love you need ain′t gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things you planned ain't coming true)


Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
