More than ever you're on my mind Being lonely ought to be a crime Watching TV to pass the time When all I think about is you And if you're thinking of me too I know you know what to do I wish the phone would ring I'd do anything Just to hear your voice Oh Baby, why Why do we have to fight Can't we both be right Wake me from this dream I wish the phone would ring Ring What we're doing doesn't feel so right And you should be here in my arms tonight Here in my heart I live all alone Locked up inside these lonely walls Can't go anywhere at all So afraid I'll miss your call I wish the phone would ring I'd do anything Just to hear your voice Oh Baby, why Why do we have to fight Can't we both be right Wake me from this dream I wish the phone would ring Ring All I do is think of you And if you're thinking of me too I know you know what to do I wish the phone would ring I'd do anything Just to hear your voice Oh Baby, why Why do we have to fight Can't we both be right Wake me from this dream I wish the phone would ring Ring I wish the phone would ring I'd do anything Just to hear your voice Oh Baby, why Why do we have to fight Can't we both be right Wake me from this dream I wish the phone would ring Ring I wish the phone would ring
