I try to get a message to you
Time and again
There is nothing that I can do
I call you, it's always the same

Answering service
Time and again
Answering service
Always the same

So I get the message from you
Hear it all day (every, every day)
Listen to that stereo sound
Call later, you always say

Answering service
I hear it all day
Answering service
You always say

I call you in the morning
I wait until the evening
I can't believe you don't reply

It's me that does the talking
And all I've got is a Walkman
Saying you'd return the call tonight
So I leave a message for you
Every day
Don't believe you'll ever reply
But I'll try, I'll try anyway

Answering service
Every day
Answering service
Time and again
Answering service
I hear it all day
Answering service
