Had our number changed today although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring they wanna speak to you
And it hurt to tell them you weren't here with me
Maybe now oh telephone will let me be
It's not in the book so now you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me just call Lonesome 7-7203
[ steel ]
I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might wanna call and say you've changed your mind
If you do then darling you know where I'll be I'm at Lonesome 7-7203
