As Soon As I Picked Up The Phone (1974)
Hello (Hello, Loretta?) Darling I knew it was you
(Loretta, there's something I just got to tell you) Oh please tell me what to do
(I really don't know how to say this but I want to tell you…) You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone

(No you don't understand Loretta, I'm trying to tell you that I…)
The talk is around that we're through
(Yeah I know, I heard it too) Oh darling tell me what to do
(But that's just it, that's what I'm trying to tell you I'm trying to tell you)
I knew you'd tell me that we're wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone

(But it is true there's nothing wrong)

Oh no (I'm sorry, Loretta) Oh no I can't believe that it's true
(I'm sorry, Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)
Oh no, oh no I can't believe that we're through

(I know you know that I never thought it would come to this)
You tell me it's over and done
(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)
You say that you've had all your fun
(And you just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you)
But I can't believe that you're gone
(But this is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too)
As soon as I hang up the phone (yeah, I'll be gone)
As soon as I hang up the phone (Goodbye, Loretta)
