I think this song is about a girl who is trying to call her ex up. ( i know its been so long).= Long time since they talked last. She misses him alot and is trying to call him just to hear his voice. Shes at a phone both because she doesnt want him to know its her calling him, (( her number)).

His mother ( or a new girlfriend who acts like a mother towards him)) Does not let him call her or talk to her. ( blondie) Maybe shes a common friend of them both.

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long If I don't get your calls, then everything goes wrong I want to tell you something you've known all along

She's feeling so great just to hear his voice again after all this time they have been appart. She wants to tell him something he have known all long ( Perpahps that she still loves him alot)

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection Oh, I can't control myself.

She cant control herself once she hears his voice, and suddenly Hangs up on HIM ( what irony) She will call him up again once she can show him the same affection as she did before.

Alll i all a timeless classic song! Love it!

Totally didn't have caller ID back then.
