Lyrics (Swedish Version):

Tyst och död är telefon

Står där nästan som ett fån

Inte ringer du och säger älskling nu som du gjorde

Allting är så tyst mot förr

Ingen knackar på min dörr

Det som lockat mig frestar inte, nej, som det borde

Inget roar mig just nu

Ingen annan bara du

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Åh, ring, ring, bara du slog en signal

Ring, ring, tystnaden är så total

Ring, ring, skingra den oron som mal

Om jag fick en signal, tog jag ett språng

Hjärtat gjorde en volt, ding-dong, bing-bong

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Att en telefon kan va'

Lika tyst varenda dag

Om det vore så, det var nåt fel ändå, men dessvärre

Om den bara sa ett knyst

Om den inte blott var tyst

Om jag fick nån lön för nån enda bön av vår Herre

Inget roar mig just nu

Ingen annan bara du

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Åh, ring, ring, bara du slog en signal

Ring, ring, tystnaden är så total

Ring, ring, skingra den oron som mal

Om jag fick en signal, tog jag ett språng

Hjärtat gjorde en volt, ding-dong, bing-bong

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Lyrics (English Version):

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Om du ring, ring, ringde en endaste gång

Om du ring, ring, ringde en-

I was sitting by the phone

I was waiting all alone

Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you

It's a dark and dreary night

Seems like nothing's going right

Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?

Yes I'm down and feeling blue

And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all

Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall

And I sit all alone impatiently

Won't you please understand the need in me

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone

Hey did I do something wrong?

I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken

Was it me or was it you?

Tell me, are we really through?

Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget

Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Songwriter:

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all

Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall

And I sit all alone impatiently

Won't you please understand the need in me

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
