The Hang Up
She called me on the phone
Asked me what's going on with you?
I said I'm surprised you asked
You've been gone for the last two weeks
Or were you really gone at all
Maybe you didn't want to talk with me
Or were you with that man
The one you had planned to leave?
I won't ask what's going on
Because you don't know yourself
I will save us a little time
And there will be no tale to tell
This has been fun, but girl I have to go
There is a girl much sweeter than you
She lives just down the road...
