I've been away from you for far too long
Too much absence makes the heart go frantic
I wanna tell you what's been going on
Operator, get me transatlantic 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 telefone but you're never home
I gotta get a message to you but you're never home
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 telefone
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
