Romanovsky And Phillips - The Answering Machine Song lyrics

I met you at Jim's house one Friday night You were with Tim, but then I was with Mike We went out for drinks, and we had a great time You gave me your number, and I gave you mine You told me to call and we'd do it again But I bet you say that to all of the men 'Cause it seems that you are never at home You never answer your telephone I'm so tired of talking to your answering machine Are you really away, or are you just being mean? Maybe you really don't like me at all Maybe you're really just screening my phone call I dial your number at least twice a day A glutton for punishment, what can I say? When I hear it ring, I'm on needles and pins 'Til I hear a click, and the message begins I know it by heart, and I wait for the tone Feeling rejected, feeling alone 'Cause thirty seconds isn't long enough To tell you everything I feel Why did you give me your number If you didn't want to talk to me for real? Why do you bother having it on? When I leave a message, you never respond Well I should be hurt, but I'm worried instead Perhaps you've been kidnapped, or maybe your dead! All kinds of nightmares are going through my brain I'd call the police, but I don't know your last name! Avoiding phone calls is a science But conversation is an art Why did you give me your number If you only meant to break my heart? Thirty seconds isn't long enough To tell you everything I feel Why did you give me your number If you didn't want to talk to me for real?
