Don't Forget To Wait For The Tone Lyrics

Don't Forget to Wait for the Tone (Pat Robinson, Dick Holler) Friends say I'm lookin' fine It only takes a little time Everybody sees the lines between the creases They know not to mention her name Things are just about the same But when I hear the telephone ring, I go to pieces BRIDGE #1 She's the only one I wanna talk to But I'm afraid of what she's gonna say CHORUS #1 Hey ? you know I'm not at home But I'll get right back, just leave your name and number Wait ? until you hear the tone As a matter of fact, I'll be here alone Don't forget to wait for the tone I'm tryin' not to let it show I want to, but I don't want to know My heart's just been put on hold, and I'm hangin' Every time I hear the phone I'm hopin' that she'll come on home If I knew she was gonna stay gone, I'd let it keep ringin' BRIDGE #2 And I'd let that phone ring on forever So she could never tell me goodbye CHORUS #1 CHORUS #2 Hey ? you know I'm not at home But I'll get right back, just leave your name and number Wait ? until you hear the tone As a matter of fact, I'll be here alone Don't forget to hurry on home
