II call my baby on the phone
Got to leave a message
Just to let her know
That if she ever feels alone
To dial my heart
And if by chance
You’re not at home
You can reach me, baby
By the nearest pay phone
I gotta cross my fingers
And pray you’ll know
To dial my heart

They all look like “Rasta” lookinges dudes except for the oldest one. They performed at my school districts “back to school” party. The dumb kids were throwing paper (school pamplets they were given when they came in) at them not because they didn’t like them but because they didn’t know how to act at a concert. The boys ran off the stage after singing 2 or 3 songs.
