From the album This Is The Way.

I got woke up this morning with a late-night call.
My telephone was ringin' clean off the wall.
And on the other end, a good friend says to me,
"Ooh, my daddy's gone, brother won't you help me please?"

I felt so bad,
To hear him so sad...
The next phone call.

Now a week's gone by and it's three A.M.
Oooh, that damn telephone is ringin' once again.
"I've been told to call", a stranger says to me.
"Seems your best friend just wrapped his car around a tree!"

Oh, Lord, what a mystery...
The next phone call.
What's it gonna be?
The next phone call.
Well it might be your brother,
Oh well, it might be me...
The next phone call.

Now it's ringin' once again, I'm half afraid to pick it up.
But it's my baby's voice and oooh, it cheers me up.
But are my ears decievin', what's this he's sayin'?
"I packed my bags today, tomorrow I'll be leavin'."

Now I'm so tired of bad news, I wanna tear out the phone.
But I ain't the kind to let it run me from my home.
And good news or bad news, I'll find out in the end.
It might be an old friend askin' how I've been.

Oh, Lord, what a mystery...
The next phone call.
What's it gonna be?
The next phone call.
Well it might be you, brother,
oh, it might be you,
Or it just might be me.
Will it be good news,
Or will it be bad?
Will it make me happy,
Or will it make me sad...
The next phone call.
