[Verse 1]
She's really cooling down the heat
I feel it going on down
(Get on down, down, down, get on down, down, down)
I hear the telephone ring
And that's the worst kind of sound
(Sound, sound, sound, I hate that sad sound)

[Pre-Chorus]
I had the lights down low
(Low)
I had the key to the lock
But it's all over, I know
'Cause that girl loves to

[Chorus]
(Talk)
She starts that yack, yack, yack, yack yacking
(Talk)
She starts that rap, rap, rap, rap rapping
(Talk)
I may as well go watch TV 'cause she just
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch
(Talk)

[Verse 2]
We had the place to ourselves
There was no one around
('Round, 'round, 'round, ain't no one around)
But it's a party line
It's true that three's a crowd
(Down, down, down, she gets me so down)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I bought her flowers and such
I gave it just the right touch
This conversation's too much
Ooh, that girl loves to

[Chorus]
(Talk)
She starts that yack, yack, yack, yack yacking
(Talk)
She starts that rap, rap, rap, rap rapping
(Talk)
I may as well go watch TV 'cause she just

[Bridge]
Operator got to break the line
It's been four hours, and the girl won't stop
She tells me, "Mister, maybe some other time"
'Cause I'm listening in, and this gossip is hot

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I hear her saying goodbye
And that's the best kind of news
(News, news, news, real good news)
She's sweetly calling my name
I lose those telephone blues
(Blue, blue, blue, telephone blues)

[Pre-Chorus 3]
But it's too good to be true
She doesn't answer my knock
Another call's coming through
And that girl's gotta

[Chorus]
(Talk)
She starts that yack, yack, yack, yack yacking
(Talk)
She starts that rap, rap, rap, rap rapping
(Talk)
Another 24 hours
(Talk)
And that sweet love is back to sour
(Talk)
She starts that yack, yack, yack, yack yacking
(Talk)
She starts that rap, rap, rap, rap rapping
(Talk)
(Talk)
(Talk)
(Talk)
(Talk)
(Talk)
