waitin' for the phone to ring

how many nights you cried

so sad and lonely

wondering if he'll call

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring

he said his love was true

you want to believe him

you're out there on a limb

waitin for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring

how can you love a man

when he holds you like dirt

in the palm of his hand

his kind will always stray

after got through

he'll throw you away

another night goes by

he's not there to hold you

you sit there like a fool

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring now baby

waitin' for the phone to ring

how can you love a man

when he holds you like dirt

in the palm of his hand

his kind will always stray

after got through

he'll throw you away

another night goes by

he's not there to hold you

you sit there like a fool

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring now baby

waitin' for the phone to ring

waitin' for the phone to ring
