LYRICS
"Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)"
"Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)"
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
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
Long, long distance love affair, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
I gotta get a message to you
I wanna tell you
What I'm going through, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
I gotta get a message to you
I wanna tell you
What I'm going through, ooh-oh
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
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
Long, long distance love affair, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
I gotta get a message to you
I wanna tell you
What I'm going through, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
I gotta get a message to you
I wanna tell you
What I'm going through, ooh-oh
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
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
Long, long distance love affair, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home
Long, long distance love affair, ooh-oh
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home..
I can't find you anywhere, ooh-oh
I call you on the telefone
But you're never home..
