How many nights you cried
So sad and lonely
Wondering if he'll call

Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
He said his love was true

You want to believe him
You're out there on a limb
Waitin forthe phone to ring

Waitin' for the phone to ring

How can you love a man

When he holds you like dirt
In the palm of his hand
His kind will always stray

After got through
He'll throw you away


Another night goes by
He's not there to hold you
You sit there like a fool

Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring now baby

Waitin' for the phone to ring

How can you love a man

When he holds you like dirt
In the palm of his hand
His kind will always stray

After got through
He'll throw you away


Another night goes by
He's not there to hold you
You sit there like a fool

Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring now baby

Waitin' for the phone to ring
Waitin' for the phone to ring
