When I was just a boy
By the phone, by the phone
My head was stuck in the clouds
Feet would not touch the ground
You didn't have to leave that way
Didn't have to leave that way
'Cause I was just
Just a boy
By the phone, by the phone
I've been holding on to all your promises
Why'd you tell me you were on your way back?
I've been waiting so long
Days have come and they've gone
Don't leave me hanging
Call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
Baby call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
I've been waiting by the phone, love, I've been waiting by the phone, love
So just call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
You didn't have to be that way
Didn't have to be that way
'Cause I was just
Just a boy
By the phone, by the phone
I've been holding on to all your promises
Why'd you tell me you were on your way back?
I've been waiting so long
Days have come and they've gone
Don't leave me hanging
Call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
Baby call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
I've been waiting by the phone, love, I've been waiting by the phone, love
So just call me back, call me back, call me back, call me back
