Sitting in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone
All I got was a busy tone, it's off the hook

It's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
 
Talking so long she upset my mind
Why are you talking such a long time?
Maybe she's sleeping, maybe she's ill
Phone's disconnected, unpaid bill - it's off the hook

It's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
  
Don't want to see her, afraid of what I'd find
Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed, started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook, it's off the hook 

It's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook 

It's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook
It
's off the hook 
It's off the hook

It's off the hook
