[Verse 1]
Said "Goodbye" when I left your answering machine
Then you jumped in a plane, girl, you know what I mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the phone. Oh yeah!
Pick up the phone. Oh please!
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
[Verse 2]
Waiting so many years, feeling closer to you
Not a sign not a trace, baby, what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the phone. Oh yeah!
Pick up the phone. Oh please!
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
[Chorus]
Pick up the phone
Let me know
I don't want to lose you, girl
Don't hang up
Get in touch
Fill the shadow in my life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, what you're doing now?
[Verse 3]
Inter communication via satellite
You can call me long distance, whatever you like
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the phone. Oh yeah!
Pick up the phone. Oh please!
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
[Chorus]
Pick up the phone
Let me know
I don't want to lose you, girl
Don't hang up
Get in touch
Fill the shadow in my life
[Post-Chorus]
What you're doing now?
Can't we straighten it out?
Won't you speak your heart?
What you're doing now?
Can't we straighten it out?
Won't you speak your heart?
[Outro]
Won't you speak your heart?
Can't we straighten it out?
What you're doing now?
Said "Goodbye" when I left your answering machine
Then you jumped in a plane, girl, you know what I mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the phone. Oh yeah!
Pick up the phone. Oh please!
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
[Verse 2]
Waiting so many years, feeling closer to you
Not a sign not a trace, baby, what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the phone. Oh yeah!
Pick up the phone. Oh please!
I need your voice again
Hearing your voice again
[Chorus]
Pick up the phone
Let me know
I don't want to lose you, girl
Don't hang up
Get in touch
Fill the shadow in my life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, what you're doing now?

Can't we straighten it out?
Won't you speak your heart?
What you're doing now?
Can't we straighten it out?
Won't you speak your heart?
[Outro]
Won't you speak your heart?
Can't we straighten it out?
What you're doing now?
