It's not so bad when I can't see you   To say what I've been thinking about   You're still the thoughest boy around   What you've been up to has made me doubt      Don't hang up   Just listen   Got to explain the way that I feel   Stay on your end of the line      The telephone's the cowards way   But please listen anyway   I can't be with you anymore      So don't come knockin' at my door   Don't hang up   Just listen   Got to explain the way that I feel   Stay on your end of the line      No, I won't come running back   No, I'll never change my mind   All along I've been a fool   I've gotten smarter   I know your kind      Don't hang up   Just listen   Got to explain the way that I feel   Stay on your end of the line      Go on hang up   Now that you've listened   And I've explained the way that I feel   You reached the end of the line.
