<poem>Please pick up the phone | |||
let me know you're home | |||
let me know you're there | |||
let me know you care | |||
i heard somethin today | |||
that blew my mind away | |||
Please pick up that phone right now | |||
and make me feel O.K. (and tell me you're ok) | |||
Johnny heard from Marge | |||
She heard yesterday | |||
if you got somethin to say | |||
go 'head make my day | |||
I just hate to have to | |||
find out this way | |||
Show me how to ride this thing | |||
So I won't fall when I'm on my own | |||
I've heard it's only bad until | |||
You get the hang then it's all downhill | |||
Don't let go until I say it's time for me to go | |||
I've seen too many others fall | |||
as they were left to go alone | |||
I want you to stay with me | |||
??? my course until I'm right</poem> | |||
