Hello, This Is Joannie

[Chorus]
Hello, this is Joannie
I'm sorry that I'm not home
But if you leave me
Your name and number
I promise soon as I get in I'll phone

[Verse 1]
Joannie came over to my house last night
I drank a little too much red
And we got into a fight
She said I'm leavin'
And I let her go alone
I felt so damn bad this morning
I reached right for the phone
And called her right away
To beg her to forgive

[Bridge]
The phone rang once
The phone rang twice
And then I heard her say

[Chorus]
Hello, this is Joannie
I'm sorry that I'm not home
But if you leave me
Your name and number
I promise soon as I get in I'll phone

[Verse 2]
Joannie I'm sorry and I'm feelin' oh so small
That was the message that I left
And I waited for her call
I waited with a sinkin'
Feelin' in my heart
Not knowin' if she'd forgive me
Was tearin' me apart
I couldn't go on this way
I had to call again

[Bridge]
The phone rang once
The phone rang twice
And then I heard her say

[Chorus]
Hello, this is Joannie
I'm sorry that I'm not home
But if you leave me
Your name and number
I promise soon as I get in I'll phone

[Verse 3]
My phone rang and my heart sang
My baby's called at last
Instead it was a friend who said
That Joannie's car had crashed
I never should've let her drive home
Angry from my place
I'd never hold her again
And kiss that funny face
But still there was a way
To hear her voice again

[Bridge]
The phone rang once
The phone rang twice
And then I heard her say

[Chorus]
Hello, this is Joannie
I'm sorry that I'm not home
(I'm so sorry Joannie)
But if you leave me
Your name and number
I promise soon as I get in I'll phone
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus / Outro]
Hello, this is Joannie
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm sorry that I'm not home
But if you leave me
Your name and number
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I promise soon as I get in I'll phone
