1. E

I just talked to my baby on the

E

Telephone, she said

E

Stop what you're doing and baby

E A

Come on home 'cause I can't hold out

E

I can't hold out no longer

B

I get a real good feeling

A E

Talking to you on the phone

2. She said baby don't you worry you're my

Heart's desire, you know that I

Love you, I can't stand to see you cry

But I can't hold out

Can't hold out too long

I get a real good feeling

Talking to you on the phone

3. She said baby you can run, you can

Walk or fly, you know that I

Love you, you're my heart's desire

But I can't hold out

I can't hold out too long

I get a real good feeling

Talking to you on the phone

4.,5. (instrumental)

6. Talk to me baby

Talk to me baby

Talk to me baby

Talk to me baby

I get a real good feeling

Talking to you on the phone

7.,8.,9. (instrumental)
