Baby hold the line, I'm so far away I've put in a hundred dimes, just to hear your voice say Honey I'm missing you, I'm coming down with the flu But I'm coming home good this time So baby hold the line Your girlfriend called and your bookie friend dropped by They both need cash, ole Louis said gonna dash But honey I'm so alone stuck here with this damn phone But I won't be there for you this time Oh baby hold the line Yeah baby hold the line No matter how hard we try Some things we lose we need find But baby you gotta hold the line Baby don't you hang up, you know I hate to hear you cry & I just gotta get some sleep, I don't want nightmares tonight And you'll feel better in the morning, and not so ragged and torn Between your heart and your mind Oh baby hold the line
