Can’t talk now

Excuse me baby, I beg your pardon, dear
That’s not exactly what I wanted me to hear
Your line’s been busy, I am watching much too long
It surely drives me crazy to just hear that beep-beep-beep-beeping sound

Overseas operator, is there anything you can do
I am calling from a bar down-town and they’re spitting on my shoe
Suddenly a voice familiar, I’m choking up inside
I’ve been through hell to reach you, baby
Just gotta talk to you tonight

And she said oh, I can’t talk now
I’m expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can’t talk now
I’m expecting a highly urgent phone call

Everybody’s listening, I don’t care
Don’t you go hang me up now, don’t you dare
Outside in the distance, I hear that clicking sound
Boy when I get home I’m gonna chase that bitch all over town

Overseas operator, is there anything you can do

She said oh, I can’t talk now
I’m expecting a highly urgent phone call
She said, oh, I can’t talk now
I’m too stoned to communicate at all

She said oh, I can’t talk now
I’m expecting a highly urgent phone call
