You can tell it's from the '90's if I'm singing about calling you with a quarter...

Disconnected words and music copyright Bibi Farber 1998
I'm trying to reach you baby
is something wrong with your line?
exchange some speech here baby
I'll try my call back some other time
what's wrong with your number?
it seems to have changed
You’re never at home now lately
I let it ring 20 times
I wish you’d pick up the phone now baby
if you call I'll pick up mine
but all of my quarters just keep coming back
it looks like we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
You kept me on hold too long here
just what did you have in mind?
waiting out in the cold too long dear
I want to get back inside
but all of my quarters can't call you back
it looks like we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
what do I do now baby to get you back on the line?
just trying to get through now baby
to say hello
to say hello or goodbye
‘cause we got disconnected
you had to take another call
got so disconnected
can you still hear me at all?
now you can't hear me at all
