Never thought I'd find myself, sitt'in at the end of a hundred miles of telephone line

Instead of being with you where the good Lord knows, I spent the best years out of my whole life

I didn't call to do much talk'in, I might say someth'in I'll regret. I just called to listen, if you'd like to talk this over

I sent some pretty roses, I guess by now, all those pretty roses died

I just hope they told you, all the things I couldn't say but couldn't hold inside

I waited for an answer, but I haven't got one yet. So I called to listen, if you'd like to talk this over

Chorus: If you'd like to talk this over, I'll try hard to understand

Give me one good reason not to love you and I'll stop, soon as I can

Don't be afraid you'll hurt my feelings, their as hurt as there gonna get. I just called to listen, if you'd like to talk this over....
