Watching The Phone
By Jami Cooper
I’m watching the phone
It ain’t ringing
I’m watching the door knob
It ain’t turning
I’m watching your love
It ain’t burning
Burning like mine
I’m looking for answers
They’re not coming
I’m looking for peace of mind
It’s not showing, no
I’m looking out for your love
It’s not growing
Growing like mind
Every time the phone rings
It’s just my mama on the other end
Every time the door swings
It ain’t you baby, it’s just my friends
No I’m not lonely
I’m just, I’m just trying to give it time
But you’re making me crazy, baby
Am I ever on your mind?
I’m looking ahead
Trying not to wonder
I’m looking out for my heart
Trying to keep from going under
I’m looking for signs
But tell me baby, baby
Are you looking for mine?
