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."

Chorus

She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire."

Chorus

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.
