Hey, little sister Answer the phone Tell him I'm busy With the make-up and dome Just take his number I can't be disturbed Tell him the same thing he told me Hundreds of times See how it feels to be standing in line Tell him I'm all tied up Just as busy as I can be Tell him I'm all tied up With somebody new And to keep his bright side up That I'll call him when I get free But for a lifetime at least I'm all tied up I had invitations Tried to be strong Waited and waited Till my patience has gone I kept getting weaker What you expect me to do? Promising things week after week But you're never there You sure got a strange way of showing you care Tell him I'm all tied up Just as busy as I can be Tell him I'm all tied up With somebody new And to keep his bright side up That I'll call him when I get free But for a lifetime at least I'm all tied up Got an appointment at one And I'm leaving here right away Got a plane to catch and a month of Saturdays Cab driver I believe it's time to go Tell him the same things he told me See how he feels to be standing in a line Tell him I'm all tied up Just as busy as I can be Tell him I'm all tied up With somebody new And to keep his bright side up That I'll call him when I get free But for a lifetime at least I'm all tied up
