[Verse 1]
Calling long distance
I can't believe how much I missed you
Turn up the fire, gonna burn up the wires
'Til I get you
[Pre-Chorus]
Operator, try
It's gonna be a long, long night
If I can't talk to you
Don't know what to do
Somehow I've got to get through to you
[Chorus]
I wanna put it to you person to person
Got love on my mind and I need some time to talk about it
Person to person
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you, girl
[Verse 2]
So much temptation
It's more than just conversation
I got love on the line, deep down inside
I want you
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just killin' time
And I'm not gonna sleep tonight
Gonna break every rule
I got nothin' to lose
Somehow I've got to get through to you
[Chorus]
I wanna put it to you person to person
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you
Turn up the fire, gonna burn up the wires
Person to person
[Pre-Chorus]
Operator, try
It's gonna be a long, long night
If I can't talk to you
Don't know what to do
Somehow I've got to get through to you
[Chorus]
I wanna put it to you person to person
Got love on my mind and I need some time to talk about it
Turn up the fire, gonna burn up the wires
Person to person
[Outro]
(Person to person)
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you
(Person to person)
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you, girl
Calling long distance
I can't believe how much I missed you
Turn up the fire, gonna burn up the wires
'Til I get you
[Pre-Chorus]
Operator, try
It's gonna be a long, long night
If I can't talk to you
Don't know what to do
Somehow I've got to get through to you
[Chorus]
I wanna put it to you person to person
Got love on my mind and I need some time to talk about it
Person to person
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you, girl
[Verse 2]
So much temptation
It's more than just conversation
I got love on the line, deep down inside
I want you
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just killin' time

I got nothin' to lose
Somehow I've got to get through to you

I wanna put it to you person to person
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you
Turn up the fire, gonna burn up the wires
Person to person

I wanna let you know the way I feel about you
(Person to person)
I wanna let you know the way I feel about you, girl
