Long Distance Lovers

Verse I
Long distance lovers on the telephone
I tried to reach you but you weren?t home
I?m tired of listening to the telephone ring
I want to talk to you not your answering machine
Chorus I
You know that I want you, you know that I care
I?m tired of wishing that you lived near
I don?t want to be so paranoid
I don?t want you to be annoyed
Verse II
The moment I met you I knew I was doomed
You cast your spell and I was consumed
You?re wicked, you?re evil but that?s what I like
Your image will haunt me for the rest of my life
Chorus II
You know that I want you, you know that I care
I?m tired of wishing that you lived near
No more talking on the telephone
I want to see you when I get home
Bridge
Why aren?t you here
Just want you to be near
No more talking on the telephone
I want to see you when I get home
When I get home, when I get home
When I get home, when I get home
Verse II
I?d climb any mountain, swim across the sea
Just to have you next to me
No more calls, sorry AT&T
My long distance lover is here with me
Chorus III
You know that I want you, you know that I care
I?m tired of wishing that you lived near
No more talking on the telephone
I want to see you when I get home
I don?t want to be so paranoid
I don?t want you to be annoyed
Pack your bags let?s get on our way
I can?t take this another day
I?m tired of feeling all alone
I?ve got a house but a house ain?t no home
