Lyrics:

(by Elmore James)

I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said, 'Stop what you're doing and baby come on home.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

You said, 'Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.
You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

She said, 'Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah.

I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
