E7
I just talked to my baby on the telephone
She said,
"Stop what you're doing and baby come on home!"

Chorus:
   A7
I can't hold out
                     E7
I can't hold out too long
              B7          A7
I get a real good feeling talking
               E7
to you on the phone

You said,
"Baby, don't you worry, you're my heart's desire
You know that I love you,
I can't stand to see you cry"

Chorus

She said,
"Baby you can run, you can walk or fly
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire"

Chorus

I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby
I get a real good feeling
talking to you on the phone
