Cuz my baby wouldn't hang up on me

Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
Keeps telling me my baby ain't home (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line
This situation's blowin' my mind
Oh! I just can't take this anymore

Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get though
Would you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure my phone wouldn't be answered by no man
