I left my message on your number
   In hopes that you might call
   Riding high on good intentions
   Still hanging on the wall
   Although my words were never all too
   Clear it's understood
   It's never too late to say in other ways
   Something in our lives we'll rearrange
   More than just your call on holiday
  
   Ring me up, don't bring me down
   Don't let me hear you won't
   Come through tonight
   Ring me up, don't bring me down
   You know this lonely heart stands by me
   While I'm waiting
  
   Remembering how it came together
   The meaning in your eyes
   Now words fall out like perfect strangers
   We both apologize
   In all this time I thought I knew you
   And over looked somehow the reasons why
   You kept inside
  
   Ring me up, don't bring me down
   Don't let me hear you won't
   Come through tonight
   This lonely heart stands by me
   While I'm waiting
  
   Ring me up, don't bring me down
   Don't let me hear you won't
   Come through tonight
  
   Ring me up, don't bring me down
   Here's hoping the days gone by we'll see again
   This lonely heart stands by and I'm still waiting
   Ooh still waiting
   Ooh still waiting
