Your heart was so young
You didn't know any better
You'd never been loved before me
Then you met someone
And now you're always together
But if you find that he don't want you
Or make love like I used to
Just give him up and dial that telephone
Give him up and dial that telephone

Give him up, he's not the one for you
Don't you know?
Look me up, I'm still in the book
Under lonely
Give him up, if you miss the one
Who still loves you so
Just give him up and dial that telephone

Come back to my arms, oh, before I go crazy
It's killin' my heart every night
Just give me a call, if you still got my number
But if some night, he doesn't please you
Or love you quite like I do
Just give him up and dial that telephone
Give him up and dial that telephone

Give him up, he's not the one for you
Don't you know?
Look me up, I'm still in the book
Under lonely
Give him up, if you miss the one
Who still loves you so
Just give him up and dial that telephone
Just give him up and dial that telephone
Give him up and dial that telephone
