Sittin' in my bedroom late last night

Got into bed and turned out the light

Decided to call my baby on the telephone

All I got was an engaged tone

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

Talkin' so long she upset my mind

Why is she talkin' such a long time

Maybe she's sleeping maybe she's ill

Phone's disconnected unpaid bill

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

Don't want to see her afraid of what I'd find

Tired of letting her upset me all the time

Back into bed started reading my books

Take my phone right off of the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook

It's off the hook
