I was searchin' on a one-way street.
I was hopin' for a chance to meet.
I was waitin' for the operator on the line.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.


(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was walkin', many days go by.
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights.
Communication break down all around.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I've been livin' on a dead-end street.
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet.
Insufficient data coming through.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.
