Well I just want to say
Lately I smile all day
Lately I'm never down
lately I never frown
At home or in the car

Don't wanna be alone
you just pick up the phone

Sex over the phone
You know I like it
Sex over the phone
You know I need it
Sex over the phone
Come on and give it to me baby
Sex over the phone

When I want to take a ride I don't have to go outside
I don't need to dress if I'm feeling lazy
I can lie there in my bed painting pictures in my head
I just touch my princess and I go crazy

Sex over the phone
In the morning
Sex over the phone
In the afternoon
Sex over the phone
Sometimes late in the evening
Sex over the phone

This is the part I hate
why do they make you wait?
Here's where the fevers rise
Enough to cross my eyes

They can be short or tall


they can be white or black.
I don't care not at all
long as they call me back

Sex over the phone
It's so fulfilling
Sex over the phone
They're always willing
Sex over the phone
Don't break connection baby
Sex over the phone.

It's loving that you need
satisfaction guaranteed
It won't cost that much for you to start talking
It's a very small amount on your credit card account
Come on let your fingers do the walking

Sex over the phone
Sex over the phone
Sex over the phone
Sex over the phone
Sex over the phone
They're always willing
Sex over the phone
It's so fulfilling
Sex over the phone
Come on and give it to me baby

If you are feelin' hot and after all who's not?
Right now I've got a cure to help your temperature
All that you need's a dime and just a little time
A pay phone on the street can help you beat the heat

Sex over the pone
You know I like it

It's five o'clock in the morning, the city seems so empty
As I wander in the streets alone
It's five o'clock in the morning, the city is awaking
I don't wanna go to sleep alone

And now I feel like such a fool because I've broken all the rules
And I hurt the one who loves me, when I just turned and walked away
There wasn't much that you could say except to say you really loved me

It's five o'clock in the morning, my mind's gettin' weary
As I walk the lonely street again
It's five o'clock in the morning and I feel very sorry
'Cause your love I'll never be again

I guess I'm gonna have to face that I just couldn't run the race
I always thought I was a winner
When your love I'm gonna lose, it makes it easier to choose
Because I'm not a good beginner

Woh baby (baby), I need your love, oh baby (baby), I want your love
Oh baby (baby), bring back your love, oh baby, oh baby, oh

It's five o'clock in the morning, the city is so silent
Can't you hear the lonely beat of my heart
It's five o'clock in the morning, this feeling is so helpless
I can't stop the lonely beat in my heart

Well I don't know what I should do, so I'll leave it up to you
Maybe some day you'll forgive me
So until then I'll play the part of a man with a broken heart
And hope someday you will free me

Oh baby (baby), I need your love, oh baby (baby), I want your love
Oh baby (baby), bring back your love, oh baby, oh baby, oh

It's five o'clock in the morning, the city seems so empty
As I wander in the streets alone
It's five o'clock in the morning, the city is awaking
I don't wanna go to sleep alone

Take a bus, a train or a plane to Hollywood
Go there and then change your name
You die your hair out there, it's part of the game
You're gonna be a star, a big star

Tell the bank that you need a loan
Go sell your house and every little thing that you own
You'll make your dream, forget what you've ever known
You're gonna be a star, a big star

Now you're set, so follow the rules
Don't need a house unless it comes with the pool
Buy some new clothes and then you've got to be cool
You're gonna be a star, a big star

You know the kind that has a phone and a bar
You'll soon forget the per-son you really are
You're gonna be a star, a big star

Tell your friends you walked off the stage
Then slip outside and call and have yourself paged
Get on the phone and scream as though in a rage
You're gonna be a star, a big star
