Lyrics

Baby doll, when you call
It's like icicles on the phone line
You wanna talk but keep it light
And keep all of my feelings on hold now

You say you're not ready for love
You're good at taking your time
You say you're not ready for love
Oh, baby, hoping you're mine

Baby, baby doll, you gotta set me free, yeah
Baby, baby doll you are the one
Baby, baby doll, you gotta set me free, yeah
Baby, baby doll it is tonight, tonight, tonight
It is tonight

Baby doll, when you call
It's like icicles on the phone line
You wanna talk but keep it light
And keep all of my feelings on hold now

You say you're not ready for love
You're good at taking your time
You say you're not ready for love
You're good at wasting my time

It's time that I draw the line
