You say you love me darling,
Please, call me on the phone sometime.
You say you love me darling,
Please, call me on the phone sometime.
When I hear your voice,
Ease my worried mind.

One of these days,
I'm gonna show you how nice a man can be.
One of these days,
I'm gonna show you just how nice a man can be.
I'm gonna buy you a brand, new Cadillac,
If you only speak some good words about me.

Hear my phone ringing,
Sound like a long distance call.
Hear my phone keep ringing,
Sound like a long distance call.
When I picked up my receiver,
The party said another mule kicking in your stall.
