[Verse 1]
You said you need a little time
A little time to yourself
I am staring down this telephone wondering
There might be someone else

If a man answers when I call
I will just hang up I would not say anything at all
If a man answers I know what I will do
I will lie here awake so I do not dream about you
If a man answers this time of night
At least I will know somebody is holding you tight
If a man answers I would not call again
And I will know where I stand while I twist in the wind

[Chorus]
Oh baby I am just missing you
I am crazy still in love with you
I know my heart will break in two
If a man answers, if a man answers

[Verse 2]
I just got to tell you girl
Maybe somehow make you see
How much I want you to come back to me
But if a man answers you will never know
He will let you sleep while I let you go
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If a man answers you will never know
If a man answers I will let you go
If a man answers this time of night
If a man answers he is holding you tight

If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, oh if a man answers
If a man answers, if a man answers
