I Can't Hold Out

(by elmore james)

I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said, "stop what you're doing and baby come on home."
I can't hold out, i can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

You said, "baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.
You know that i love you, i can't stand to see you cry."
I can't hold out, i can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

She said, "baby you can run, you can walk or fly.
You know that i love you, you're my heart's desire."
I can't hold out, i can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah.

I talked to my baby, i talked to my baby.
I talked to my baby, i talked to my baby.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
