If a Man Answers
Love's Silent Echoes: A Heart's Dilemma
Lyrics
You said you need a little time
You expressed the need for some time
A little time to yourself
A brief period alone
I'm staring down this telephone wonderin'
I'm contemplating this phone call, pondering
There might be someone else
Concerned there might be another person
If a man answers when I call
If a man answers my call
I'll just hang up, I won't say anything at all
I'll hang up without saying anything
If a man answers I know what I'll do
If a man answers, I have a plan
I'll lie here awake so I don't dream about you
I'll stay awake to avoid dreaming of you
If a man answers this time of night
If a man answers at this hour
At least I'll know somebody's holding you tight
At least I'll know someone's holding you
If a man answers I won't call again
If a man answers, I won't call again
And I'll know where I stand while I twist in the wind
I'll understand my position while feeling abandoned
Oh baby, I'm just missin' you
Expressing the deep longing for you
I'm crazy still in love with you
Despite the craziness, still deeply in love
I know my heart will break in two
Aware that my heart might shatter
If a man answers, if a man answers
Fearing the consequences if a man answers
I just gotta tell you girl
Desire to convey the intensity of feelings
Maybe somehow make you see
Hoping to make you realize
How much I want you to come back to me
The extent of my longing for your return
But if a man answers you'll never know
If a man answers, you won't be aware
He'll let you sleep while I let you go
He'll let you rest while I release you
Oh baby, I'm just missin' you
Expressing the profound sense of loss
I'm crazy still in love with you
Despite the insanity, the love persists
I know my heart will break in two
Acknowledging the potential heartbreak
If a man answers, if a man answers
Fearing the outcome if a man answers
If a man answers you'll never know
If a man answers, the truth remains hidden
If a man answers I'll let you go
If a man answers, I'll let you go
If a man answers this time of night
If a man answers at this late hour
If a man answers he's holding you tight
If a man answers, he's embracing you tightly
If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, the uncertainty persists
If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, the fear lingers
If a man answers, oh if a man answers
If a man answers, the apprehension remains
If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, the anxiety endures
