Don't Hang Up Lyrics

This is a song about a man desperately wanting to get back together with his ex-wife. He's calling her, but she doesn't want to speak with him, so he can only beg her not to hang up. I assume the middle section is describing how they came to be divorced. This song is incredibly sad, and Godley's vocals portray the desperation of the main character so well. It's the perfect song to bring an end to that era of 10cc.

@Deka7X9 Perfectly described. And Godley and Creme's somewhat absurd and inventive lyrics describe it all even better!!!!
