There's a Emman on the line, he is Amwasting my Emtime,
He calls me Amevery day, he's got B7nothing to say,
And at the Emdead of night when I Amturn out the Emlight,
The Amtelephone rings, it's B7him again!
CI wouldn't mind if he Dtold me,
CJust what the hell is going Don,
CHe like a man in a Dfever,
CI know that something is Dwrong,
He's whispering your Cname!
There's a Emman on the line, and he is Amwasting my Emtime,
He calls me Ameveryday, and he B7won't go away,
Is he Empart of a plan, is he a Amgovernment Emman?
Well Amone thing is true, he's B7after you!
CHe must be totally Dcrazy,
CHe must be out of his Dmind,
CTo be in love with a Dlady,
CAh, when that lady is Dmine,
He's whispering yoCur name, Dwhispering yCour name,
[CHORUS:]
GTell Dme, Gtell Dme,
GHow many men have Cseen Dthis CheaDven,

There's a Emman on the line and he's still Amwasting my Emtime,
He calls me Amday after day and it's aB7lways the same,
And at the Emdead of the night, when I Amturn out the Emlight,
The Amtelephone rings, yes, it's B7him again;
CHe's got me deep in susDpicion,
CHe's got me looking at Dyou,
CHe like a man with a Dmission,
CAh, tell me what did you Ddo?
He's whispering yCour name, Dwhispering yCour name,
