I left my message on your number In hopes that you might call Riding high on good intentions Still hanging on the wall Although my words were never all too Clear it's understood It's never too late to say in other ways Something in our lives we'll rearrange More than just your call on holiday Ring me up, don't bring me down Don't let me hear you won't Come through tonight Ring me up, don't bring me down You know this lonely heart stands by me While I'm waiting Remembering how it came together The meaning in your eyes Now words fall out like perfect strangers We both apologize In all this time I thought I knew you And over looked somehow the reasons why You kept inside Ring me up, don't bring me down Don't let me hear you won't Come through tonight This lonely heart stands by me While I'm waiting Ring me up, don't bring me down Don't let me hear you won't Come through tonight Ring me up, don't bring me down Here's hoping the days gone by we'll see again This lonely heart stands by and I'm still waiting Ooh still waiting Ooh still waiting
