[Chorus:]
Mr. telephone man, there´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number, I get a click every time
Mr. telephone man, there´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number, I get a click every time

When I dial 6-1-1 paid service
She said ´´hello, may I help you please´´
I told her something must be wrong with my phone
Cause my baby wouldn´t hang up on me

[Chorus:]
Mr. telephone man, there´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number, I get a click every time
Mr. telephone man, there´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number, I get a click every time

He let the phone ring
20 times before he answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later, I got the operator, saying
´´Please hang up and place you call again´´ baby

[Chorus:]
Mr. telephone man
There´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number
I get a click every time
Mr. telephone man
Something´s wrong with the line
(There´s something wrong with my line)
When I dial his number
(When I dial my baby´s number)
(I get a click every time)

Some strange woman is on the telephone (the telephone)
Keeps telling me that my baby, he ain´t home (that he´s not home)
He ain´t got no party line, this situation blows my mind
Oh... I just can´t take this anymore

[Bridge:]
Please operator, see what you can do
I dialed the right number, but I still couldn´t get through
Would you just check the wire, his number one more time if you can
I´m pretty sure he´s phone ain´t being answered by no woman

[Chorus:]
Mr. telephone man
There´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number
I get a click every time
Mr. telephone man
Something´s wrong with the line
(There´s something wrong with my line)
When I dial his number
(When I dial my baby´s number)
(I get a click every time)

Must be a bad connection
With my loving affection
Ah Baby, I just can´t take this no more
This situation blows my mind
Can´t get my baby on the line
(On the line)

[Chorus:]
Mr. telephone man (I tried dialing information)
There´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number (I get no cooperation)
I get a click every time
Mr. telephone man (Mr. on the phone telling me my baby ain´t home)
There´s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby´s number (ah baby)
I get a click every time (I just can´t take it anymore)

Mr. telephone man (help me out)
There´s something wrong with my line (please Mr. Telephone Man)
When I dial my baby´s number (help me out)
I get a click every time (please Mr. Telephone Man)
Mr. telephone man there´s something wrong with the line (Mr. Telephone Man)
When I dial his number I get a click every time...
