Off The Hook

(album: The Rolling Stones, Now! - 1965)

Sitting in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone
All I got was an engaged tone

It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook

Talking so long she upset my mind
Why is she talking such a long time?
Maybe she's sleeping, maybe she's ill
Phone's disconnected, unpaid bill

It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook

Don't wanna see her, afraid of what I'd find
Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook

It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
[Repeat and fade]
