[Verse 1]
You're a real mean mama
But you got a lot of time for me
And I know it ain't common
To find your kind of love for free
[Chorus]
It's a drag and a sigh
And that's not all
This is real long distance
It's a real long distance call
[Verse 2]
Telephone ringing, mama
Please don't you leave it alone
Don't leave no breaks in the line
It's the only thing that's tied to home
[Chorus, 2x]
This is real long distance
It's a real long distance call
Calling real long distance
It's a real long distance call
Calling real long distance
It's a real long distance call
