Telephone Lyrics

Sheena Easton Telephone

I've been away from you for far too long
Too much chances make my heart go frantic
I wanna tell you what's been goin' on
Operator, give me Trans Atlantic
I sit alone as the night goes by
Stare at the phone and wait for your reply

(chorus)
Long long distance love affair, woh
I can't find you anywhere, woh
I call you on the telephone
But you're never home
I gotta get a message to you
I wanna tell you what I'm going through

What in the world's comin' 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
Havin' a ball, and wishin' you are here

(chorus)

(instrumental)

Premonition is a funny thing
a familiar kind of pain and easy
Like knowin' when the phone is gonna ring
Too many times and it'll drive you crazy
I hear your echo in the longer hall
Call out your name, but no one's there at all

(chorus repeats out)
