I was searching on a one-way street
I was hoping for a chance to meet
I was waiting for the operator on the line
(she's gone so long) what can i do?
(where could she be?) don't know what i'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you.
[chorus
Slow down, sweet talking woman
You got me running
You got me searching
Hold on, sweet talking lover
It's so sad if that's the way it's over
Sweet talking woman.
I was walking, many days go by
I was thinking, about the lonely nights
Communication breakdown all around
(she's gone so long) what can i do?
(where could she be now?) don't know what i'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you.
Repeat chorus
I've been living on a dead-end street
I've been asking everybody i meet
Insufficient data coming through
(she's gone so long) what can i do?
(where could she be?) don't know what i'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you.
Repeat chorus
