Hello, hello this is Romeo Calling from a jackpot telephone Shame, shame, but I love your name And the way you make the buffalo roam Oh, oh, oh, fly, fly I guess this is goodbye Oh you packed up your heart And you left no souvenirs But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Once, twice I thought it might be nice To come into your kitchen and play Cool, cool just a crazy fool I never saw it any other way Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait I guess I'm just too late Oh you made up your mind Love shouldn't be so hard But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now, hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs No shirts, no shoes No jackets, no blues You car's for sale You forward your mail You're growing your hair You don't want to know where I'm calling you from Or how come But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Yeah, yeah Hello, hello, this is Romeo
