(Phonemate)

(Hello, this is Andrew)

(Hey, I'm sorry I'm not in right now)

(But if you'll be so kind to leave)

(A short message and a number)

(I will definatly get back to you)

(What for the beep, and baby if that's you don't hang up)

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging oh)

(Phonemate, Phonemate)

(You're never home)

When I cad you on the phone

See that never you're at home

So I make me believe the voice

I'll hear is yours

But the message is one way

Every time I call you'll say

Baby if that's you leave a message

I'll be home soon

(So don't hang up)

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep reaching your, yeah

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(You're never home)

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep reaching your

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(You're never home)

Baby what you gonna do

Don't you know I cant be true

To a phone machine

That gives me no response

And the tape that's on your line

Has no heart and not much time

To record the things I feel

You need to know

(So I hang on)

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep reaching your

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(You're never home)

Long distance love affairs

They never work and I don't care

To talk to a rambling phone for you

(That's no way to communicate)

(Don't wanna talk your phonemate)

(Phonemate) Oh, darling

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep reaching your

(Phonemate, phonemate) (You're never home)

Mmm, I wanna talk to you

(You're never home)

Hey, yeah

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep reaching your

(Phonemate, phonemate)

Miss you, baby (You're never home)

Oh, yeah

(Phonemate, phonemate)

(I want to hang up but you keep me hanging on)

Keep me waiting
