lyrics

VERSE 1
I heard you lived alone,
Then why is another man answering your telephone?
If this were to be true,
I should have heard from you but not a dickie bird has flown!

CHORUS
Oh - Mr Telephone
Why d’ya keep breakin’ oh why d’ya keep breakin’ up?
Oh - Mr Telephone
Try as I might, I just can’t get a line from here
Oh no.

VERSE 2
I punch your number in
Sat with a sultry grin, there’s static on the line
I’ve got you on autodial
And I’ve been waiting for a while, but now im talking to myself

CHORUS
Oh - Mr Telephone
Why d’ya keep breakin’ oh why d’ya keep breakin’ up?
Oh - Mr Telephone
Try as I might, I just can’t get a line from here
Oh - Mr Telephone
Why d’ya keep breakin’ oh why d’ya keep breakin’ up?
Oh - Mr Telephone
Try as I might, I just can’t get a line from here
Oh no.

MIDDLE 8
Well I Can’t hear you!
But I can see you!
No, I can’t touch you!
But I can feel you!

No, I Can’t hear you!
No, I can’t hear you!
No, I can’t hear you!
No, I can’t hear you!

CHORUS
Oh - Mr Telephone
Why d’ya keep breakin’ oh why d’ya keep breakin’ up?
Oh - Mr Telephone
Try as I might, I just can’t get a line from here
Oh - Mr Telephone
Why d’ya keep breakin’ oh why d’ya keep breakin’ up?
Oh - Mr Telephone
Try as I might, I just can’t get a line from here
