Girl, I'll wait forever) I dialed the digits round eleven past eight Just wanted to cancel my reservation date Now the phone is on the table by the bedside lamp The ice has melted and the coaster is damp That little tinny flute has been playing three bars Over and over underneath the stars She comes back every minute just to tell me to wait And every time she speaks it feels like fate (All representatives are assisting other callers) (Take your time, baby, I'm right here) My battery is dropping down to single digits now I cannot hang up the phone, I do not know how Hold music playing in the room so sweet (Playing so sweet) The only conversation walking down my street (Down my street) Hold music, tell me that you care for me (Care for me) I am caller forty-seven in the queue, you see (Caller forty-seven) Do not hang up, let the pan flute ride (Let it ride) I got nowhere to go and nothing to hide (Nothing to hide) I know every little note of that computerized tune Better than any record playing in the room I learned the little pause right before she comes back To apologize for the personnel they lack I made a grilled cheese and I swept the floor Still holding the line by the bedroom door My friends sent a text asking where I have been I told them I was locked in a romance again (No!
