[Verse 1]
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 ol' telephone will let me be
It's not in the book now, so you 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 call Lonesome 7-7203

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I keep the telephone bеside me all the timе
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 giving our 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
Just call Lonesome 7-7203
