about

Call Me on the Phone - Classic Motown with an interesting twist of Pop. Storyboard: Once upon a time Maja digs Rusty but Rusty is not so sure and heads to the bars. He ultimately regrets his speedy decision and tries to call... he gets an answer many years later and they live __________ ever after. Maja wrote the original version of this song when she was in her 20s and, yes, it was about Rusty. Time has passed and now Rusty and Maja answered each other's calls and thus the song has a new incarnation!

lyrics

CALL ME ON THE PHONE

Call me on the phone, tell me to come home
The hotel sheets are cold and I don’t want to be alone
Everybody wants to tell you what I’ve been doing at nights
I don’t want to hear about it, I just want you to hold me tight

It’s the way you pick me up and then you put me down
It’s hard to keep my head up, you know, and my two feet on the ground
Everybody is advising me Lorraine she says I’m a fool
For loving you the way I do and letting you make all the rules.

Chorus: Call me on the phone, Call me
I just want to talk to you

You’ve been seen downtown making the rounds
I just sit in my hotel room trying to calm myself down
I don’t care where you’ve been
I didn’t mean to walk out
I don’t care who you’ve been with
Wasn’t trying to say good-bye
Just needed some kind of holiday

You're the best friend that I’ve had yet!

Chorus
