The telephone is busy
And I know that she's at home
I'll bet she's there with someone else
While I'm here all alone
I've been ringing constantly
Just to tell her that she can't hurt me
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
(On the line)
I won't be ringin' back
Tell her to forget about me
I can't eat, can't sleep
Can't even read my book
I wonder what she's doin'
With her phone left off the hook
I can't get no peace of mind
Every time I seem to find
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
And you can tell her
To forget about me
Forget about me
Listen please
Mister from the telephone company
I want to ask a favor
Get that girl in touch with me
I can't get no peace of mind
Every time I seem to find
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
(On the line)
She's always on the line
(On the line)
And I won't be ringin' back
Tell her to forget about me
I won't be ringin' back
Tell her to forget about me
And I won't be ringin' back
Tell her to forget about
She's always on the line
Always on the line
She's always on the line
She's always on the line
On the line
