New Edition – Mr. Telephone Man lyrics

Ah, ah, ah.

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 dialed 611 to be at 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.

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.

She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered.
Let me tell you what happened then.
(Ahhh) A minute I later, I got the operator
Saying please hang up and place your call again, baby.

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 my line.
(There's something wrong with my line.)
I tried to dial her number. (When I dial my baby's number,)
I get a click every time.

Some strange man is on the telephone. (The telephone)
He keeps telling me my baby ain't home. (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line. (Oooh, oooh)
The situation's blowing my mind. (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, I just can't take this anymore.

Please operator, see what you can do.
I dialed the right number, but I still couldn't get through.
Could you check the line just one more time if you can?
I'm pretty sure her phone wouldn't be answered by no man than that.

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 my line.
(There's something wrong with my line.)
I tried to dial her number. (When I dial my baby's number,)
I get a click every time.

Must be a bad connection.
I give her love and affection. (Love, affection)
Oh sugar, I just can't take this no more.
This situation's blowing my mind, girl. (Blowing my mind)
Can't get my baby on the line. (On the line) Oooh.
I tried dialing information. (Mr. Telephone Man)
I just can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone Man)
'Cause her sister's on the phone telling me my baby ain't at home. (Mr. Telephone Man)
Aw, baby, I-I-I can't take this anymore.
Help me out please, Mr. Telephone Man.
Help me out please, Mr. Telephone Man.
Help me out please, Mr. Telephone Man.
