Telephone Lover

(album: Do The Twist - 1962)

Hello, oh hello, darling, have you missed me, you have
Are you telling me true, oh, that's nice
Well, why don't you come to my house
And talk me more of that sweet talk, uh darling, hello hello hello

Oh, he's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo
He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo
But when I say, come over baby, he says, I gotta go

I dig his warm conversation when he's talking on the phone
I dig his warm conversation when he's talking on the phone
But he gets cool mighty cool when I say come on home

Oh, well his voice gets me so excited, I get goose pimples everywhere
But when I tell him that he's invited all of a sudden that man ain't there

He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo
He's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo
But it's my dream to have him and somehow I'll make it so
(Now talk me some of that sweet talk honey)

Well well well, he's a telephone lover, a long distance Romeo...
