Had our number changed today, although I hated to
But each time the phone would ring, they'd want to speak to you
And it hurt to tell them you're not here with me
Maybe now, old telephone will let me be

It's not in the book now, so you'd better write it down
Just in case your love for me should ever come around
You might want to call and break the news to me 
Just call Lonesome 77203

I keep the telephone beside me all the time
Hoping you might want to call and say you've changed your mind
If you do, then darlin', you know where I'll be
I'm at Lonesome 77203

You're the only one I'm giving our new number to
So now if the telephone should ring, I'll know it's you
If you ever long for love that used to be
Just call Lonesome 77203
Just call Lonesome 77203
