Intro chords: 
D Bm G A 
 
Spoken: 
You said you need a little time 
A little time to yourself 
I'm staring down this telephone wonderin' 
There might be someone else 
 
     D 
If a man answers when I call 
     Bm 
I'll just hang up I won't say anything at all 
     G 
If a man answers I know what I'll do 
     A 
I'll lie here awake so I don't dream about you 
     D 
If a man answers this time of night 
   Bm 
At least I'll know somebody's holding you tight 
     G  
If a man answers I won't call again 
         A 
And I'll know where I stand while I twist in the wind 
 
 
Chorus: 
   G             A 
Oh baby I'm just missin' you 
    F#m            Bm  
I'm crazy still in love with you 
  G                  A 
I know my heart will break in two 
     D 
If a man answers, if a man answers 
 
 
I just gotta tell you girl 
Maybe somehow make you see 
How much I want you to come back to me 
But if a man answers you'll never know 
He'll let you sleep while I let you go 
 
Chorus

If a man answers you'll never know 
If a man answers I'll let you go 
If a man answers this time of night 
If a man answers he's holding you tight 
 
If a man answers, if a man answers 
If a man answers, if a man answers 
If a man answers, oh if a man answers 
If a man answers, if a man answers
