You Never Called

(album: For Teenagers Only - 1960)

Sat by the phone
Just awaiting for your call
Sat all alone
There was no one home at all
Waiting to hear
Just your footsteps in the hall
But you never called
Oh oh, oh no

What could it be
That was keeping you away?
Could it be me
Something wrong I've said today?
So you went free
Everything should seem okay
But you never called
Oh oh oh

Well, I've swallowed my pride
Like they say in the book
And reached for the phone
But all the while
The phone was off the hook

While of the blue
Came a knock on the door
Then there was you
Holding me just like before
And then I knew
This was what I've waited for
I'm glad you never called
Oh oh, oh oh
So glad you never called
Oh oh oh oh oh
So glad you never called
