“As Soon As I Hang Up the Phone” was a #1 hit for Conway and Loretta, and is a spoken word/sung duet. Conway provides the spoken part while Loretta provides the sung vocals. Conway’s spoken part sounds as if it is coming over an old rotary telephone. It can be found on their album, Country Partne...
[Loretta, spoken:]
Hello
[Conway, spoken:]
Hello Loretta
[Loretta:]
Darlin', I knew it was you
[Conway, spoken:]
Loretta, there's something I just got to tell ya...
[Loretta:]
Oh, please, tell me what to do
[Conway, spoken:]
I don't...really know how to say this...but I wanna tell ya that I...
[Loretta:]
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone
[Conway, spoken:]
No...no, you don't understand Loretta. I'm tryin' to tell you that I...
[Loretta:]
The talk is around that we're through
[Conway, spoken:]
Yeah, I know...I've heard it too...
[Loretta:]
Oh, darlin', tell me what to do
[Conway, spoken:]
But that's just it, that's what I'm tryin' to tell ya...I wanna tell ya that I...
[Loretta:]
I knew you'd tell me they were wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone
[Conway, spoken:]
Ah, but it is true...they're not wrong...
[Loretta:]
Oh no
[Conway, spoken:]
I'm sorry Loretta
[Loretta:]
Oh no...I can't believe that it's true
[Conway, spoken:]
I'm sorry Loretta...I'm really, really sorry
[Loretta:]
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that we're through
[Conway, spoken:]
I know you know that I...I never thought it would come to this, but...
[Loretta:]
You tell me it's over and done
[Conway, spoken:]
I really thought that I loved ya...and you know that
[Loretta:]
You say that you've had all your fun
[Conway, spoken:]
And you just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you
[Loretta, voice intermingled with Conway's:]
But I can't believe you'll be gone
As soon as I hang up the phone
[Conway, spoken, voice intermingled with Loretta's:]
This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do...and it hurts me too
[Conway, spoken:]
Yeah I'll be gone
[Loretta:]
As soon as I hang up the phone
[Conway, spoken:]
