Mmm, mmm

Hey, hoo, yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

Yeah

 

Here I stand with open arms

I'm offerin' my love to you

I want to do for you

All the things that you want me to

 

There's so much more

That I could do for you, yeah

But you just won't let me give you my love, boy

What is wrong with you

 

Don't you know when love calls, yeah

You'd better answer (You'd better answer)

‘Cause it might be big mistake

If you decide to hesitate

 

Oh, when love calls, yeah

You'd better answer (You'd better answer)

Don't let it slip away too many times

‘Cause love may not ever come again

 

Ooh, no

Oh, no

 

I know that your heart is into playin' the field

And that blinds you

Baby, you can't see

The forest for the trees, no, no

 

The candle in my heart

Burns slowly every day

Don't you mess around too long

And let it melt away

 

And I'm tellin' you when love calls, yeah

You'd better answer (You'd better answer)

‘Cause it might be big mistake

If you decide to hesitate

 

Oh, when love calls, yeah

You'd better answer (You'd better answer)

Don't let it slip away too many times

‘Cause love may not ever come again, oh

 

True love is so hard to come by

It's precious and it's rare, yeah

But I've got a lot of it to give

Don't miss out, don't you dare

 

Just this time

Come on and see it through, oh

I'm willing and waiting

But it's all up to you, oh...

 

When love calls, yeah

You'd better answer (You'd better answer)

Don't let it slip away too many times

‘Cause love may not ever come again

 

You'd better listen, yeah

(You'd better listen when love calls, baby)

(You'd better listen when love calls your name)

 

I'm callin' your name

(You'd better listen when love calls, baby)

(You'd better listen when love calls your name)

 

Ooh, ooh, yeah, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

(You'd better listen when love calls, baby)

(You'd better listen when love calls your name)

 

Ooh, ooh, yeah, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

(You'd better listen when love calls, baby)

(You'd better listen when love calls your name)

 

Ah, ah, yeah

(When love calls)

Ooh, better answer me, baby

‘Cause I'm waiting here for you.
