How many nights you cried   So sad and lonley   Wondering if he'll call   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring   He said his love was true   You want to believe him   You're out there on a limb   Waitin forthe phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring      How can you love a man   When he holds you like dirt   In the palm of his hand   His kind will always stray   After got through   He'll throw you away      Another night goes by   He's not there to hold you   You sit there like a fool   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring now baby   Waitin' for the phone to ring      How can you love a man   When he holds you like dirt   In the palm of his hand   His kind will always stray   After got through   He'll throw you away      Another night goes by   He's not there to hold you   You sit there like a fool   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring now baby   Waitin' for the phone to ring   Waitin' for the phone to ring
