Money drops into a payphone at the airport in LA
The phone rings in an apartment a mile away
A young girl's voice said hello, I said Shirley you don't know me
A friend said I should call you when I'm in LA
Money drops into a payphone in the Alanta airport lounge
A phone rings in an apartment in LA
A young girl's voice said hello, I said Shirley I just got home
There's something I just got to say
Verse
Shirley I lied to you part of things I said were not true
Shirley I'm married, I got a son almost as old as you
I won't be comming back to do all the things we said we planned
I can't walk out on her Shirley, she's never looked at another man
Money drops into a payphone in the Alanta airport lounge
The phone rings in an Alanta suburban home
A woman's voice said hello, I said hello I just got in
Pick me up and honey don't be long
Money drops into a payphone at the corner of first and main
The phone rings in an apartment accross town
A young man's voice said hello, she said Jack it's Helen
I can't see you tonight he's back in town
