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 L.A. 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 disi:ant 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
