On the Line Lyrics

I don't go out much anymore, I can't seem to break that tie

It's my link with the outside world, don't need to face one eye to eye

Seems like I spend my whole life on the line

Quiet conversation makes it plain

I sit alone in my room

Waiting for that phone to ring again

I don't have the time that I used to have, the connection becomes the deceiver

Who could know that my life would depend on the end of that receiver

Seems like I spend my whole life on the line

Quiet conversation makes it plain

I sit alone in my room

Waiting for that phone to ring again

I don't care what my people say, it doesn't matter much to me

It's the only way I know, to have you near

I don't do as much as I used to do, the dial keeps me from being bored

As long as I have your number, I'll hold tightly to this cord

Seems like I spend my whole life on the line

Quiet conversation makes it plain

I sit alone in my room

Waiting for that phone to ring again
