The Phone Call

Hello, who's speaking?

Mama, I didn't think it was you

I've had a hard time reaching you

Now mama, don't start crying

Don't worry, I'm all right you see

You know how he's mistreated me

If I'd stayed at home

What would people say

After all that's happened

It doesn't matter anyway

Mama, your little girl gets lonely

In a big old town like this

I wish I had my teddy bear to sleep with

But mama, how are you?

Yes, I'll call you in a week or so

My time is up, I'll have to go

My time is up, I'll have to go
