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...
