TALK IS CHEAP
© 1987 Anna S. Teazya
(Operator) The number you have reached - 387-274-5629-132667 has been changed,
the new number has been disconnected
No further information is available
I spent those years alone with out you, Memories only, always lonely
What was I to do
I know you're in there, I can hear you, can't get near you, Cry a tear or two
What was I to do
Your words leave images with me, but the telephone is all I see
I'll say I'm sorry, will that do, you know I'm still in love with you
CHORUS Your conversation just goes on, a few more seconds and you'll be gone
Talk is cheap that's what they say
Long distance bills must be paid
(Operator) We're sorry, you must first dial a zero when calling this number
Will you please hang up, will you please, will you please, will you please hang up
I spent those years, I spent those years alone without you, Memories only always lonely
What was I to do
I call your number but you're not there, What do you care, only empty air
What was I to do
I know you're in there I can hear you, Can't get near you, Cry a tear or two
(Operator) Will you please hang up, will you please, will you please, will you please hang up
CHORUS Your conversation just goes on, a few more seconds and you'll be gone
Talk is cheap that's what they say
Long distance bills must be paid
(Operator) If you'd like to make a call please hang up your operator
We're sorry, we're sorry
Your telephone is ringing but I'm leaving
Your telephone is ringing but I'm leaving
(Operator) Please hang up, if you need help please hang up and try your call again.
