Wait For An Answer

(album: Bad Animals - 1987)

Someone told me to call
So I did and no one answered
And I don't hear a sound
But I know someone's laughing
I'm trying hard to keep my confidence
You take advantage of my innocence

Where are you, how are you
I wait for an answer
wait for an answer
It's been so long. I'll hold on
and wait for an answer
wait for an answer

No one know you
What you go though, but I do
The phone keeps ringing
No one know what you're thinking
But I do, I do, I do

They were laughing at you
And I held out my hand
I was trying to get through
Without losing again

Where are you, how are you
I wait for an answer
wait for an answer
It's been so long. I'll hold on
and wait for an answer
wait for an answer

What's that you say I can't hear you
Are those words meant for me,
as they appear to be
The tension in my voice awakes you
You know who I am but my name escapes you

They were looking for you
And you started to run
If they asked about you
I wouldn't tell anyone

Where are you, how are you
I wait for an answer
wait for an answer
It's been so long. I'll hold on
and wait for an answer
wait for an answer

The kind of woman I am
I do things that you can't understand
But there are times when you should
check the line on my face
Don't look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now

Where are you, how are you
I wait for an answer
wait for an answer
It's been so long. I'll hold on
and wait for an answer
wait for an answer

I'll wait, you make me wait
Someone told me to call
