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
