The Other Line

If you ever find yourself in hot water

I'll be there to drain the excess

I'll be there to clean up the mess

If you're ever in hot water

You already know this

I thought you were having the time of your life

You stopped calling me

You were busy on the other line

When it's over,

and you see the light

I'll be waiting

It's about time

If you ever feel like a lamb to slaughter

I'll be there to fight your corner

I'll be there to take all the hits

If you ever feel like a lamb to slaughter

I'll show you what true love is

I thought you were having the time of your life

You stopped calling me

You were busy on the other line

When it's over and you see the light

I'll be waiting

It's about time
