Lyrics Chris de Burgh - Man On The Line

Man On The Line

There's a man on the line, he is wasting my time
He calls me everyday, he's got nothing to say
And at the dead of night when I turn out the light
The telephone rings, it's him again

I wouldn't mind if he told me just what the hell is going on
He like a man in a fever, I know that something is wrong
He's whispering your name

There's a man on the line and he is wasting my time
He calls me everyday and he won't go away
Is he part of a plan? Is he a government man?
Well, one thing is true, he's after you

He must be totally crazy, he must be out of his mind
To be in love with a lady, ah, when that lady is mine
He's whispering your name, whispering your name
Tell me, tell me

How many men have seen this heaven? How many down in flames?
How many men are lost forever? How many still in chains?
Just whispering your name, whispering your name

There's a man on the line and he's still waisting my time
He calls me day after day and it's always the same
And at the dead of the night when I turn out the light
The telephone rings, yes, it's him again

He's got me deep in suspicion, he's got me looking at you,
He like a man with a mission, ah, tell me what did you do?
He's whispering your name, whispering your name
Tell me, tell me

How many men have seen this heaven? How many down in flames?
How many men are lost forever? How many still in chains?
Just whispering your name, whispering your name

Oh, there's a man on the line, whispering your name
