He's On The Phone Lyrics

He's on the phone, / and she wants to go home; / 

shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go. 

(Ooh-ooh) / 

Someday (someday), someday. / 


He's on the phone, / doesn't want to go home. / 

The hotel life - / forget your wife, / you're on your own. 

Academia girl; / 

her life's a gas, / she loves the trash / inside his world. / 

Can't find his way there, / 

got the cash, / feeling flash / in Leicester Square. / 


(Ooh-ooh) / 

Yes. / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday (someday.) / 

Yes. / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday. / 


It's five to twelve / and she's nervous as hell, / 

with nothing to lose, / it's hard to choose / it's hard to tell. / 

[The remix has this additional couplet: 

And her's is lilac and gold; / 

the things she has, / she's feeling sad, / she's feeling old.] / 

Skin is dewdrop and warm; / 

the lipstick kiss, / reminisce, / awake 'til dawn. / 


(Ooh-ooh) / 

Yes. / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday (someday.) / 

Yes. / (Ooh-ooh) / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday (someday.) / 


Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels, / 

[The remix contains the middle section: 

Qu'en habit pourpre et net, / de mes cendres fictions, / 

pour l'encore inconnu(e), attendu(e); / ]

Je resurrecte encore et encore. / 

Je resurrecte / encore / et encore. / 


He's on the phone / and she wants to go home, / 

shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go / 


Ooh-ooh / 

Yes. / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday (someday.) / 

Yes. / (Ooh-ooh) / 

She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / 

and now he's trying to find / the words to say / 

Someday (someday), someday (someday), someday.
