Somewhere a telephone is ringing right now Someone's old sweetheart is on the line She's calling to patch up an old love affair Oh I wish it was mine Somebody's writing a letter right now And saying Lawd oh I was blind Somebody's darling longs to come home Oh I wish it was mine But you never write me and you never phone There's somebody else on your mind And somebody's heart is glad you don't love me Oh I wish it was mine [ guitar ] But you never write me... (Oh I wish it was mine)
