| A little while ago I went and placed a call
|
| To tell this girl I know that she could have it all
|
| The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing
|
| I was willing to tie the knot
|
| So I called her up, and this is the answer I got…
|
| I’m so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
|
| I’m not in, and listen, I’m sure you know this whole routine
|
| Leave your name and number
|
| And I’ll try and get back to you
|
| You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you’re threw
|
| And I said, «Baby lets go get married.
|
| I need to know you’re mine!
|
| I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on this line
|
| And if I can leave one message
|
| Before you go to bed, I would say to you…»
|
| And the phone went dead
|
| So I stepped down to buy some dog food for the cat
|
| Of course she called about three minutes after that
|
| Will she be my wife and share my life?
|
| Well of course she can write the plot
|
| Cause she called my up, and this is the answer she got
|
| I’m so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
|
| I’m not in, and listen, I’m sure you know this whole routine
|
| Leave your name and number
|
| And I’ll try and get back to you
|
| You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you’re threw
|
| And she said, «Baby I got your message.
|
| Well I’m answering your call.
|
| I have thought it out, I have thought it out
|
| and I think that all in all
|
| If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time
|
| then my answer is…»
|
| and the phone went
|
| I’m so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
|
| I’m not in, and listen, I’m sure you know this whole routine
|
| I’m so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
|
| I’m not in, and listen, I’m sure you know this whole routine
|
| I’m so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
|
| I’m not in, and listen, I’m sure you know this whole routine |
