I've been away from you for far too long
too much chances make my heart go frantic
i wanna tell you what's been goin' on,
operator give me trans atlantic
i sit alone as the night goes by
stare at the phone and wait for your reply
Chorus:
long long distance love affair, i can't find you anywhere
i call you on the telefone, but you're never home
i gotta get a message to you, i wanna tell you what i'm going through
what in the world's comin' over you
How come you're acting like a total stranger
i try to reach you but i can't get through
i got this feeling that my heart's in danger
i got your letter it was perfectly clear
havin' a ball, and wishin' you are here
Chorus
<music interlude>
Premonition is a funny thing, a familiar kind of pain and easy
like knowin' when the phone is gonna ring
too many times and it'll drive you crazy
i hear your echo in the longer hall
call out your name, but no-one's there at all
Long long distance love affair, i can't find you anywhere
i call you on the telefone, but you're never home
(repeats out)
