i had a lover, but haven`t we all
he had to leave so sometimes i`d call
i was lost and livin` in the real world
i`d call
satellites are blinkin` all through the night
wishes like this don`t seem right
rising and falling as i make my request
hello, operator, can i make this collect?
higher and higher burns the fire
love`s lost on the telephone wire
too high to reach, too hot to hold
wishing on telstar, should`ve been told
person to person, looking for affection
do i just break through?
do i have to wait?
it sure hurts when you get away
my long distance lover, can i make you stay?
