Handwritten lyrics
Please pick up the phone
Let me know you're home
Let me know you care
Let me know you're there
I heard something today
That blew my mind away
Please pick up the phone right now
And make me feel O.K.
Johnny heard from Marge
Marge, she heard from Kate
If you got something to say
Go ahead, make my day
I just hate to have to find out this way
Oh, oh, my darling
Take me as I am (Oh, darling)
Johnny heard from Marge
Marge, she heard from Kate
If you got something to say
Go ahead; make my day
I just hate to have to find out this way
Oh, oh, my darling
Take me as I am
