Well I remember when I met her
She winked and threw me some change
She said "Call me sometime, boy
Now you know my name"
I should have known on the phone
You never can make any time
No matter how hard she talks
You're always at the end of the line
Telephone girl
I get hung up on all these telephone girls
Telephone girl
There's no romance in a telephone world
She's got a little black box
That sits right next to her phone
So that she can say hello
Even when there's nobody home
Well I try to pin her down
But there's never any time
But I can always get her voice
For a couple of dimes
Telephone girl
You get nothing from a telephone girl
Telephone girl
There's no romance in a telephone world
She's all I could ask for over the phone
But she's never the same when I get her alone
Calling her up
There's never enough to bring the pressure down
You can't even trust her voice
When there's nobody around
But every time I call her up
To tell her that this'll be the very last time
My heart starts thumping
When her love comes whistling down the line
Telephone girl
You get nothing from a telephone girl
Telephone girl
I tell you nothing from a telephone girl
Telephone girl
Telephone girl
