[Chorus - 2x]
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Verse 1 - Ralph]
When I dial 611, Repaie Service
She said "Hello, may I help you please?"
I told her something must be wrong with my phone
Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me
[Chorus - 2x]
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Verse 2 - Ricky]
She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later, I got the operator
Saying please hang up and place your call again, baby
[Chorus - 2x]
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Bridge]
[Ralph] Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
He keeps telling me my baby, ain't home (That she's not home)
[Bobby] She got no party line (Oh, oh)
Situation blowing my mind (Oh, oh)
Oh, I just can't take this anymore
[Spoken - Michael]
Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone
Wouldn't be answered by no man
[Chorus - 2x]
Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Outro]
[Bobby] Must be a bad connection
I give her my love and affection
I just can't take this no more
[Ricky] This situation blowing my mind (Blowing my mind)
Can't get my baby on the line (On the line)
[Ralph] I tried dialing information (Mr. Telephone Man)
I can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone Man)
Her sister's on the phone telling me my baby ain't at home
Come on baby, I just can't take it no more
Help me out, please Mr. Telephone Man
Help me out, please Mr. Telephone Man
