"The Prodigal Son" lyrics

Hi Mike
Alright Mom, how's it going?
Alright, what about you?

Sometimes happiness comes at the speed of light down the telephone line
I know you've had a rough day, and it aches like a pain in your side
I got no excuse, it's the truth that I leave it too long
And now something's telling me, boy, you've been getting this wrong
Leaving you hanging on
Leaving you hanging on
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm calling you up just to say that I need you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just as much as you need me too
Oh, oh, it's not a break in the line
I'm just taking my time to get it right
And I'll stay on the phone till it's done (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So hello from the prodigal son

You thought having some kids would be a recipe for never feeling alone
But they soon grow up and leave you bouncing round where used to be home
And I know you feel like a pain in my ass when you ring
I've neglected you lately and blatantly it's doing one thing
Leaving you hanging on
Leaving you hanging on
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I'm calling you up just to say that I need you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just as much as you need me too
Oh, oh, oh, it's not a break in the line
I'm just taking my time to get it right
And I'll stay on the phone till it's done (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So hello from the prodigal son

Ring, ring, ring, and I'm thinking of you, so I picked up the phone just to say
I've been too caught up in my own stupid stuff, and finally it's starting to change
Ring, ring, ring, and I'm thinking of you, so I picked up the phone just to say
I've been too caught up in my own stupid stuff, and finally it's starting to change

I'm calling you up just to say that I need you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just as much as you need me too
Oh, oh, oh, it's not a break in the line
I'm just taking my time to get it right
And I'll stay on the phone till it's done (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So hello from the prodigal son (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So hello from the prodigal son (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So hello from the prodigal son
