[Verse 1]
You said, said you were goin' away
I thought, maybe I could make you stay
I'm not so strong, I'm runnin' to the phone
I've got my finger in the dial
And the words stuck in my throat, just sayin'
[Chorus]
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you're home
Pick up the telephone
And tell me that you love me
[Verse 2]
You are the biggest part of my world
It hurts to see you with another girl
I should have known from the very start
Now I'm listed under "fool for you"
You've got a toll-free number to my heart
[Chorus]
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you'rе home
Pick up the telеphone
And tell me that you love me
[Bridge]
Operator, I'm feeling blue
I've been trying all day and I can't get through
Operator, interrupt the line
I've got to talk to my baby this time
(Dial 8379-723)
Dial VERY-SAD 'cause it stands for me
(Dial 8379-723)
Dial VERY-SAD 'cause it stands for me
[Verse 3]
You said, said you were goin' away
I thought, maybe I could make you stay
I'm not so strong, I'm runnin' to the phone
I've got my finger in the dial
And the words stuck in my throat, just sayin'
[Chorus]
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you're home
Pick up the telephone
And tell me that you love me
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you're home
Pick up the telephone
And tell me that you love me
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you're home
Pick up the telephone
And tell me that you love me
Pick up the telephone
Pick it up 'cause I know you're home
Pick up the telephone
And tell me that you love me
