Answering Service

(Album: Groove On - 1994)

Hello this is Angela
I'm sorry I'm unable
To answer this call right now
So please at the sound
of the beep

Leave your name and number
And I will contact you
As soon as possible

I know you're there baby
It just ain't right
The way you're treating me
I wish you would listen, and

Open up and try to undersatnd
How I feel, I miss you
I love you and I just want
you to know
I'll always be there for you

[Chorus]

I love you hope you get
this message
I don't deserve this talking
to you answering service
I need you hope you
get this message
I don't deserve this talking
to your answering service

Girl I know that I hurt you
and I apologize
But I would feel so much better
If I could look into those big brown eyes
oh baby

Is there a pleasure you get
In making me suffer like this oh
I just wanna hear you say

Hear you say I love you
Girl that's what I really miss
Why you wanna treat me like this

[Chorus]

I know your girlfriends are there listening
But I don't really give a damn no
And you might have a man around

But baby I know I'm your only
I'm your one and only man
And I wantcha to know that

[Chorus]

I know I really hurt you deep
But since then I haven't been able to sleep
Can't you just forgive an forget but I
guess not
'Cause you ain't picked up the phone yet
no no

Can't you see I'm crying baby
I know you hear me baby
Talking to your answering service
I don't deserve this

And I don't give a damn if your friends is
listening
So why don't you pick up the phone
And call me up 'cause without you girl
Life is too damn tough too damn tough

[Chorus]

I don't care who knows
I don't care who knows
How I feel about you baby
Life is too damn tough
Said why don't you pick up the phone

[Chorus]
