1. E
I just talked to my baby on the
[E]Telephone, she said
[E]Stop what you're doing and baby
[E]Come on home 'cause I [A]can't hold out
I can't hold out no [E]longer
I get a [B]real good feeling
[A]Talking to you on the [E]phone
2. She 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
But I can't hold out
Can't hold out too long
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
3. She said baby you can run, you can
Walk or fly, you know that I
Love you, you're my heart's desire
But I can't hold out
I can't hold out too long
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
4.,5. (instrumental)
6. Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
7.,8.,9. (instrumental)
