Hello, This Is Joanie (The Telephone Answering Machine Song)

Hello, This is Joanie IÕm sorry but IÕm not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise as soon as I get in IÕll phone
Joanie came over to my house last night
I drank a little too much red and we got into a fight
She said IÕm leaving and I let her go alone
I felt so dam bad this morning I reached right for the phone
Called her right away
To beg her to forgive
The phone rang once the phone rang twice
And then I heard her say
Hello, This is Joanie IÕm sorry but IÕm not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise as soon as I get in IÕll phone

Joanie IÕm sorry and IÕm feeling oh so small
That was the message that I left
And I waited for a call
I waited with a sinking feeling in my heart
Not knowing if sheÕd forgive me tearing me apart
I couldnÕt go on this way I had to call again
The phone rang once the phone rang twice
And then I heard her say
Hello, This is Joanie IÕm sorry but IÕm not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise as soon as I get in IÕll phone

My phone rang and my heart sang and
My babyÕs called at last
Instead it was a friend who said that JoanieÕs car had crashed
I never shouldÕve let her drive home angry from my place
IÕd never hold her again and kiss that funny face
But still there was a way to hear her voice again
The phone rang once the phone rang twice
And then I heard her say
Hello, This is Joanie IÕm sorry but IÕm not home
IÕm so sorry Joanie
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise as soon as I get in IÕll phone
Hello, This is Joanie IÕm sorry but IÕm not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise as soon as I get in IÕll phone
