1
A little while ago I went and placed a call
2
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all
3
The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing
4
I was willing to tie the knot
5
So I called her up, and this is the answer I got...
6
*Chorus*
7
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
8
I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
9
Leave your name and number
10
And I'll try and get back to you
11
You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw
12
And I said, "Baby lets go get married.
13
I need to know you're mine!
14
I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on this line
15
And if I can leave one message
16
Before you go to bed, I would say to you... "
17
*Beep* And the phone went dead
18
So I stepped down to buy some dog food for the cat
19
Of course she called about three minutes after that
20
Will she be my wife and share my life?
21
Well of course she can write the plot
22
Cause she called my up, and this is the answer she got
23
*Chorus*
24
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
25
I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
26
Leave your name and number
27
And I'll try and get back to you
28
You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw
29
And she said, "Baby I got your message.
30
Well I'm answering your call.
31
I have thought it out, I have thought it out
32
And I think that all in all
33
If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time
34
Then my answer is... "
35
*Beep* and the phone went
36
*Chorus*
37
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
38
I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
39
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
40
I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
41
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
42
I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
43
