 -Verse 1
Well back in 1876 an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home
It's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner
In the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane, or in your car
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Verse 2
Well there's no problem getting to me, baby
You can dial direct
I got call forward and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man, he told me
That my phone was working fine
And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Bridge
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
(Repeat)
