telefone (long distance love affair)

i've been away from you

for far too long

too much absence

makes the heart go frantic

i wanna tell you

what's been going on

operator

get me transatlantic

i sit alone as the night goes by

stare at the phone

and wait for your reply

long

long distance love affair

oh

oh

i can't find you anywhere

oh

oh

i call you on the telephone

but you're never home

i gotta get a message to you

wanna tell you what i'm going through

oh

oh

what in the world's coming over you

how come you're acting like a total stranger

i try to reach you but i can't get through

i got this feeling that my heart's in danger

i got your letter

it was perfectly clear

having a ball

and wishing you were here

long

long distance love affair

oh

oh

i can't find you anywhere

oh

oh

i call you on the telephone

but you're never home

i gotta get a message to you

wanna tell you what i'm going through

oh

oh

premonition is a funny thing

unfamiliar kind of vague and hazy

like knowing when

the phone is gonna ring

too many times and

it'll drive you crazy

i hear you echoing along the hall

call out your name

but no one's there at all

long

long distance love affair

oh

oh

i can't find you anywhere

oh

oh

i call you on the telephone

but you're never home

long

long distance love affair

oh

oh

i can't find you anywhere

oh

oh

i call you on the telephone

you're never home

long

long distance love affair

oh

oh

i can't find you anywhere

oh

oh

i call you on the telephone

but you're never home

long

long distance love affair.
