Why Don't That Telephone Ring

I had the operator call me back

She said my phone is working fine

I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn

But it's 2 a.m. Pacific time.

I thought sure she would've called by now

To tell me all about that wild and crazy LA scene

Well, I know my number's in her book

Why don't that telephone ring?

Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting

Longing for her long distance call

I wish I knew what her silence is saying

If my love means anything

Why don't that telephone ring?

She's always had this distant dream

I said go make it come true

And you know whatever's in the cards

I'll be right here for you.

But that's been too long ago

And now I just don't know

If I'm still a part of her dream

If I ever cross her mind at all

Why don't that telephone ring?

Don't she know I'm anxiously waiting

Longing for her long distance call

I wish I knew what her silence is saying

If my love means anything

Why don't that telephone ring?...
