As I'm sitting by the phone,
as the time is passing on,
I can't stop my poor heart ache,
till my baby calls me back.

As I'm sitting by the phone,
I remember how [she's] he's gone,
yes I should have held [her] him near,
but my pride deceived me here.

Though we quarreled and [she] he left me,
yet I pray for [her] his return,
tell [her] him please I love [her] him dearly,
tell [her] him next time I would learn.

Is [she] he trying to forget,
all the things that I regret,
will [she] he call? I'm so alone,
as I'm sitting by the phone.
