Somebody to Shove
Somebody to Shove Lyrics
One, two
Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
[Chorus]
I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
[Verse 2]
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there?
These hang-ups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with overexposure
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
[Chorus]
I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Ooh oh, I need somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove me
You're a dream for insomniacs
Prize in the Cracker Jack
All the difference in the world is just a call away
[Chorus]
I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Ooh, I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove me
Oh, I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
[Outro]
It's a long road home
It's a long road home
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
