Monday morning and things go wrong, without you oh, it's been so long
I dial your number, your crazy number, I wanna talk to you, I ain't come through

I'm on the road, but I need you here, so the room blows me to dispair
I'm on the telephone when something's going wrong
I wanna talk to you, I ain't come through

Oh, what a disaster!
Don't go away!
I don't wanna lose you this way

Don't leave me waiting on the telephone

All I want is a little conversation you will take away my frustration
I ask the operator and he says: "try it later"
I'm on the telephone, and something’s going wrong.

The receiver pressed against my ear, but there ain't nothing to hear
I'm dialing numbers, so many numbers
I'm on the telephone, and something's going wrong

I wanna smash the phone, I wanna scream, it's like I’m in a bad dream

"Hello operator
Can you get me 129 7129?"
"The line is engaged"
"Oh, I'm in a hurry, please connect me"
"I'm sorry, caller, the line is still engaged"
"Oh, please, you must help me, I have to talk to my boyfriend"
"The line is occupied, please ring afterwards"
"Oh please, don't cut me off..."
"The line is engaged"
"Oh, I really must speak to him. Please, try it one more time"
"The line is engaged... the line is engaged...."
