[Verse 1]
Sitting in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone
All I got was an engaged tone
[Chorus]
It is off the hook[x5]
[Verse 2]
Talking so long she upset my mind
Why is she talking such a long time?
Maybe she is sleeping, maybe she is ill
Phone is disconnected, unpaid bill
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Do not want to see her, afraid of what I would find
Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook
[Chorus]
Sitting in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone

Why is she talking such a long time?
Maybe she is sleeping, maybe she is ill

Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook
