Hello This Is Joannie

Lyrics

Hello, this is Joannie, I’m sorry but I’m not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise, soon as I get in I’ll phone

Joannie, came over to my house last night
I drank a little too much red and we got into a fight
She said I’m leavin’ and I let her go alone
I felt so damn bad this morning, I reached right for the phone
And called her right away, to beg her to forgive
The phone rang once, the phone rang twice
And then I heard her say-hey

Hello, this is Joannie, I’m sorry but I’m not home
But if you leave me your name and number
I promise, soon as I get in I’ll phone
