The Phone Call

Hello darlin' I know It's late
I hope I didn't wake you
But I'm aching and I can't wait
I want to let you know I still love you

Every time I try to tell you
The words come out all wrong
So I'm calling to tell you
You've been gone to long

I know this is a bad time
But darlin' I don't want nobody knew
I know you said I wasn't worth a dime
But darlin' I still need you

So if you think there's a chance
Could you call me tomorrow
I thought we'd share a little romance
To rid us of our sorrow

Well darlin' I'll hang up now
I hope you still love me
'Cause darlin' I need you now
Oh how can I make you see

Well thanks for listening
Let me know what to do
I'll be here waiting
Goodbye darlin', I love you
