TELEFONE (Long Distance Love Affair) by Sheena Easton [1983]

I've been away from you

For far too long

Too much chances

Make my heart go frantic

I wanna tell you

What's been going on

Operator, give me Trans Atlantic

I sit alone as the night goes by

Stare at the phone

And wait for your reply

Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh

I can't find you anywhere, oh, oh

I call you on the telephone

But you're never home

I gotta get a message to you

Wanna tell you what

I'm going through, oh, oh

What in the world's

Coming over you

How come you're acting

Like a total stranger

I try to reach you

But I can't get through

I got this feeling

That my heart's in danger

I got your letter

It was perfectly clear

Having a ball

And wishing you were here

Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh

I can't find you anywhere, oh, oh

I call you on the telephone

But you're never home

I gotta get a message to you

Wanna tell you what

I'm going through, oh, oh

Premonition is a funny thing

Unfamiliar kind of vague and hazy

Like knowing when

The phone is gonna ring

Too many times and

It'll drive you crazy

I hear you echoing along the hall

Call out your name

But no one's there at all

Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh

I can't find you anywhere, oh, oh

I call you on the telephone

But you're never home

Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh

I can't find you anywhere, oh, oh

I call you on the telephone

You're never home

Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh

I can't find you anywhere, oh, oh

I call you on the telephone

But you're never home

Long, long distance love affair
