Well back in 1876, an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home
It's that crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner
And the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase
On a plane or in your car

So tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I say, now darlin' (darlin')
honey (honey)
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I, heard from you?

Well there's no problem getting' to me baby, you can dial direct
I've got call forwarding, call waiting, you can even call collect
The service man he told me, that my phone was workin' fine
And I have come to the conclusion that the trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through
So dial zero for assistance
If this all confuses you

So tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I say, now darlin' (darlin')
honey (honey)
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I, heard from you?

There better have been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burned up the wires
A thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothing about

Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I say, now darlin' (darlin')
honey (honey)
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I, heard from you?

Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
haven't I (haven't I)
heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I say, now darlin' (darlin')
honey (honey)
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I, heard from you?
