I see you sent my letters back,
And my LP records and they’re all scratched.
I memorize ev’ry line, I kiss the name that you sign
And darlin, then I read again right from the start, love letters straight from your heart
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
And my number is Beechwood 45789,
You can call me up and have a date any old time.
Jenny I’ve got your number, I’m goin’ to make you mine, 867-5309.
It’s good to hear your voice, you know it’s been so long
If I don’t get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you’ve known all along
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That’s what I’d say, I’d tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Operator, could you help me place this call?
I can’t read the number that you just gave me.
There’s something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me.
Sylvia’s mother says Sylvia’s busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia’s mother says Sylvia’s trying, to start a new life of her own.
Sylvia’s mother says “Sylvia’s happy
So why don’t you leave her alone?”
nm
Sylvia, get your head out of the oven
Go back to screaming and cursing
Remind me again how everyone betrayed you.
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
She’s leaving home
I don’t care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama I’m coming home
I’m coming home
'Cause I’ve seen blue skies,
Through the tears in my eyes,
And I realize,
I’m going home.
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar
