I woke up to the thought of you
All alone in the heat of noon
And every chance that I get, when I pass a phone
I sing a song for you into the dial tone

And I know how it seems
But I smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call

I know work is work
We do what we gotta do
And I left you for somebody new
And although I'm tied in with a ring on my hand
I just can’t forget my Kansas lineman

And I know how it seems
But I smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call

Oh those forbidden days
When your voice makes its way through the wire
Do you feel a little less tired?
Because I do

Smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call
Smile when you call
