she told me that you called when she wasn't in
you didn't leave a number, and never called back again
just a long lost friend
well I know better, and so do you
do yourself a favor, give it another try
do I have to tell you why

she'd love to see you
it isn't what you think at all
she's walkin' on air again
because you called

you hurt each other a long time ago
the storm is over but all of the lines are down
all around the town
I'm givin' you the news as straight as I can
she told me no one can take your place
now she wants to tell you, face to face

(CHORUS)

you should have seen her eyes
the minute she realized
that the voice inside the box belonged to you
she played it over and over
and over again my friend
trying to decide just what to do

(CHORU
