Reversed Charges If I could call you up collect I'd phone my heart to you If you'd accept the charges You'd get all my loving, too. I could use direct dialing But then, you wouldn't have a choice Except to hang up on me After you heard my voice. I'd use the "speed dial' option Hold my breath as your phone rings And wait to hear your sweet voice With all the joy it brings. I'd plan what I'm going to tell you Of, the promises I’ll keep I hear a click, then hear you say, "Please leave a message at the beep.” You could have heard a pin drop When I put the phone down And it almost broke my heart When I heard that "beeping" sound. I'd dial "0", then your number Then, when she came on the line Say, "Please reverse the charges If she'll take this heart of mine.". She says, "There's no one at home." I say, "Thank you, Operator. Please try until you get her And then, call me back, later. Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |
