New Edition Mr. Telephone Man lyrics

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

When I dial 611, the best service
She said, "Hello, may I help you, please?"
I told her something must be wrong with my phone
'Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later I got the operator
Saying, "Please hang up and place your call again", baby

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone man
Something's wrong with my line
I can't dial her number

But I get a click every time

Some strange man is on the telephone
He keeps tellin' me my baby ain't home
She ain't got no party line, the situation's blowing my mind
Oh, I just can't take this anymore

Please operator, see what you can do
I dialed the right number but I still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line, just one more time if you can?
I'm pretty sure her phone wouldn't be answered by no man

Mr. Telephone man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone man
Something's wrong with my line
I just dialed her number
But I get a click every time

Must be a bad connection
I give her my love and affection
I just can't take this no more
This situation blowing my mind

Can't get my baby on the line
I tried dialing information
I can't get no cooperation

Her sister's on the phone, tellin' me, my baby ain't at home
Come on, baby, I, I just can't take it no more
Help me out, please, Mr. Telephone man
Help me out, please, Mr. Telephone man
