You hated me so much when I flew free as a bird
You'd crinkle up your nose when you heard me say a word
When I went down to the library, you'd stomp out of the stacks
And in the store you'd take one look, and turn your pretty back
Telephone if you want me, if you won't bother to write
Telephone if you need me, Facebook overnight
Telephone if you want me, or twitter in my ear
Telephone if you need me, I'm here this time of year
Well, first I tried to ignore you when my vision was too dark
And then I tried to avoid you, but you knew just where I'd park
So I gave up my resistance, knowing you'd be there
Didn't realize when you caught my eye, you'd turn my world upon its ear
Telephone if you want me, if you won't bother to write
Telephone if you need me, Facebook overnight
Telephone if you want me, or twitter in my ear
Telephone if you need me, I'm here this time of year
I heard those wedding bells, Your daddy gave me hell
I could see you you might be getting bored
All the guests, they were drunk as lords
So I crammed the key in the Chevy's lock, but my ride was up on blocks
Then they gave us the Bugatti, and we drove off to Cotati
So, I gave you my commitment, I swore it was for life
Didn't realize when I became your catch, I'd barely seen the light
I'm finally having a good day, and you, love, glow so fair
I'm glad I did something right, and I'm happy you brought me here
Telephone if you want me, if you won't bother to write
Telephone if you need me, Facebook overnight
Telephone if you want me, or twitter in my ear
Telephone if you need me, I'm here this time of year
