I was sitting by the phone 
I was waiting all alone 
Baby, by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you 
It's a dark and dreary night 
Seems like nothing's going right 
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you 

Yes, I'm down and feeling blue 
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh 

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all 
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall 
And I sit all alone impatiently 
Won't you please understand the need in me 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 

You were here and now you're gone 
Hey, did I do something wrong 
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken 
Was it me or was it you 
Tell me, are we really through 
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking 

Please forgive and then forget 
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh 

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all 
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall 
And I sit all alone impatiently 
Won't you please understand the need in me 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call
