Had our number changed today
Although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring
They'd want to speak to you.

And it hurts to tell them
You're not here with me
Maybe now oh telephone
Will let me be.

It's not in the book now
So you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me
Should ever come around.

You might want to call
And break the news to me
Just dial Lonesome
7-7203.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep the telephone
Beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call
And say you've changed your mind.

If you do
Then darling you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome
7-7203.

You're the only one
I'm givin' out new number to
So now if the telephone should ring
I'll know it's you.

If you ever long for love
that used to be
just call Lonesome
7-7203...
