I Can’t Hold Out

[Elmore James]

I just talked to my baby on the telephone
She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home"
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
You said, "Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire
You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry"
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire"
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone
