Answering Machine Lyrics - Singles - Rupert Holmes

A little while ago I went and placed a call 

To tell this girl I know that she could have it all 

The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing 

I was willing to tie the knot 

So i called her up, and this is the answer I got... 

*Chorus* 

I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine 

I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine 

Leave your name and number 

And I'll try and get back to you 

You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw

And I said, "Baby lets go get married. 

I need to know you're mine! 

I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on, I am hangin' on this line 

And if I can leave one message 

Before you go to bed, I would say to you..." 

*BEEP* And the phone went dead 

So I stepped down to buy some dog food for the cat 

Of course she called about three minutes after that 

Will she be my wife and share my life? 

Well of course she can write the plot 

Cause she called my up, and this is the answer she got 

*Chorus* 

I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine 

I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine 

Leave your name and number 

And I'll try and get back to you 

You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're threw

And she said, "Baby I got your message. 

Well I'm answering your call. 

I have thought it out, I have thought it out 

and I think that all in all 

If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time 

then my answer is..." 

*BEEP* and the phone went 

*Chorus* 

I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine 

I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine 

I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine 

I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine 

I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine 

I'm not in, and listen, I'm sure you know this whole routine
