Lyrics

There's a man on the line, he is wasting my time
He calls me everyday, he's got nothing to say
And at the dead of night when I turn out the light
The telephone rings, it's him again;

I wouldn't mind if he told me
Just what the hell is going on
He like a man in a fever
I know that something is wrong
He's whispering your name!

There's a man on the line and he is wasting my time
He calls me everyday, and he won't go away
Is he part of a plan, is he a government man
Well one thing is true, he's after you;

He must be totally crazy
He must be out of his mind
To be in love with a lady
Ah when that lady is mine
He's whispering your name, whispering your name
Tell me, tell me

How many men have seen this heaven
How many down in flames
How many men are lost forever
How many still in chains?
Just whispering your name, whispering your name..

There's a man on the line and he's still waisting my time
He calls me day after day and it's always the same
And at the dead of the night
When I turn out the light
The telephone rings, yes it's him again;

He's got me deep in suspicion
He's got me looking at you
He like a man with a mission
Ah tell me what did you do?
He's whispering your name, whispering your name
Tell me, tell me

How many men have seen this heaven
How many down in flames
How many men are lost forever
How many still in chains?
Just whispering your name, whispering your name

Oh there's a man on the line - whispering your name!
