Lyrics
I call you up, you're not at home I know that's a lie You want to hide behind the phone Don't know why, no. The voice I hear is like a clone But it won't talk back So I leave my message at the tone It goes like Please answer. Please answer Your phone's ringing off the wall I know you're not in just now But please return my call I get a pox from your answering box I really needed to talk to you this time Now that was my last dime So I'm waiting for you to rewind And play back Please answer. Please answer This really can't go on The tape it spins inside my head Oh, how it seems to drone I get a pox from your answering box INSTRUMENTAL Please answer. Please answer Your phone's ringing off the wall I know you're not in just now But please return my call I get a pox from your answering box Please answer. Please answer This really can't go on The tape it spins inside my head Oh, how it seems to drone I get a pox from your answering box
