Why? Why?
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' (why?)
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' (why?)
Darlin', darlin', darlin'

Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
There's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner, in 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 said now darlin' (darlin'), honey (honey), what is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?

(Why?) Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin' (why?)
Darlin', darlin', darlin'

Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and 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 trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will 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 said now darlin' (darlin'), honey (honey), what is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up to the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about

(If you'd like to make a call)
(Please hang up and try again)

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 said now darlin' (darlin'), honey (honey), what is your excuse?
Oh 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 said now darlin' (darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'), darlin'
Honey (honey, honey), what is your excuse?
Oh why haven't I heard from you? You-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you
