Please Phone Home
By Bill Colgate

It doesn't matter to me
That he said goodbye
That he left you all alone
You can hide for awhile with your money
But you can't hide forever so ple-ease honey baby please
Please phone home

It doesn't matter to me
Anytime you say
I will meet you anywhere
You can hide from yourself with your drinking
But you can't hide from me baby
I know what you're thinking
So please please phone home

It's not the lost opportunity
It's not the small infidelity
It's the way you touched your hair
Sent a sign I should never say never
But I can't tell the time and it seems like forever
So please please phone home

I run to the phone each time it is ringing
And hope in my heart it's you who'll be bringing me news
That the past has all been forgiven
And you're coming home to start back living with me

I know I'm not a wonderful man
I don't always understand
Why you need to be alone
Still I swear to you baby that I'm learnin'
But the clock keeps a tickin' the world keeps aturnin'
So please please phone home
