  			C                            F             C 
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone 
C                                     G 
Let's pretend that we're together all alone 
C                                            F 
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low 
       C                           G                    C 
And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go. 
 
 
Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true 
Or is he holding you the way I do 
Though love is blind, make up your mind, I've got to know 
Should I hang up, or will you tell him, he'll have to go. 
         F 
        You can't say the words I want to hear 
                              C 
        When you're with another man 
        F 
        Do you want me, answer yes or no 
           C     G 
        Darling, I will understand.  
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone 
Let's pretend that we're together all alone 
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low 
And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go.
