My friends, your friends
Everybody's whispering
The same old telephone games.
High school is over
We don't grow up
No we just get older
Such a shame.
And we can't shake it.
Is there any truth behind what
They are saying, babe?
I'm here, you're there
Talk is cheap, it's everywhere.
Denial eases the pain.
// CHORUS
But when the summer turns to fall
I won't be waiting for your call.
I'm only holding on, holding on
For so long.
You've got me holding on...
On the line.
//
It's the talk of the town
Has my heart turned upside down.
The same old telephone games.
Send a message through the wire
Set the rumor mill on fire.
Watch it burn up in flames.
And I believe, when I see
You standing in front of me
Eye-to-eye, face-to-face.
Are you lovin' someone new?
Has a change of heart changed you?
Maybe I'm going insane.
CHORUS X3
..on the line..on the line..on the line.
On the line.
Everybody's whispering
