Stevie Jackson - Telephone Song Lyrics
Money and style and friends and workMusic and sex and art and sceneBoys and girls and drugs and dreamsThat’s you girlThere’s a lot to be said for a telephone lineI could call you up I could make it so fineBut guilt and fear and jealousyThat’s me girl (ho, ho, ho)I carved her number on my wallIt’s not as if I need someoneIt’s not as if I need someoneIt’s funny she didn’t like my shirtSo she told me, then she kissed meLike I’d never seen a flirtI had not been courting, not for a whileYou’d have never have known itNot by her smileNow the coins they’re burning a hole in my pocketThoughts of her, they’re burning a whole in my headI could reach for the ‘phone, I could flick it wide openI could scroll down some numberI could wish I was deadI carved her number on my wallIt’s not as if I need someoneIt’s not as if I need someoneIf I treated her like she’s number oneIt’s not what I was thinking ofIt’s not what I was thinking ofWith an action I could be interrupting her timeIf I pickup the phone and get her on the lineIs she making some coffee, washing her dishesPlaying her records, dreaming her wishesNow I’m running with my group, I’m feeling alrightBeing chased by the rain like ‘A Hard Day’s Night’I pass by the ‘phone I wonder if she’s homeShe’s so cool, gotta have her, think I’ll leave her alone
