Tonight, I overheard you talking on the telephone
You whispered low, but I could hear you say, "I'm not alone"
At first, it sounded like some old soap opera that I'd seen
But the more I heard, the more I knew you were talkin' 'bout me

Hang up the phone and talk to me
Let's sit down here together and discuss it honestly
And maybe if we try a little, we can work it out
But I'll know that it's hopeless if you don't
Hang up the phone

Well, I never realized while I was out there working late
That you were home alone with nothing left to do but wait
No wonder that you found a friend to tell your troubles to
But I wish you'd reconsider the way I feel about you

Hang up the phone and talk to me
Let's sit down here together and discuss it honestly
And maybe if we try a little, we can work it out
But I'll know that it's hopeless if you don't

Hang up the phone and talk to me
Let's sit down here together and discuss it honestly
And maybe if we try a little, we can work it out
But I'll know that it's hopeless if you don't
Hang up the phone
Hang up the phone
Hang up the phone

Baby, please hang up the phone
