Lyrics

[Intro] Somebody [Pre-Chorus] Told her that there was a place like Heaven 'Cross the water on a 747 Yeah, we're living in, in a modern world (Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum) And pretty soon, she'd really got the notion Of flying out across the big, blue ocean Yeah, we're living in, in a modern world (Ooh, in a modern world) Talk is cheap on satellite But all I get is Information, I'm still here Redial on automatic [Chorus] (Calling America) Can't get a message through (Calling America) That's what she said to do (Calling America) That's where she has to be (Calling America) She left a number for me (Calling America) [Pre-Chorus] But I'm just talking to a satellite Twenty-thousand miles up in the sky each night Yeah, we're living in, in a modern world (Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum) All I had to do was pick up the phone I'm out in space and trying to talk to someone Yeah, we're living in, in a modern world (Ooh, in a modern world) She left a number I could call But no one's there, no one at all There must be something going wrong That number just rings on and on [Chorus] (Calling America) Can't get a message through (Calling America) That's what she said to do (Calling America) That's where she has to be (Calling America) She left a number for me (Calling America) [Pre-Chorus] (Dum-dee-doo-doo-doo-dum) Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while Guess she's missing me across the miles Yeah, we're living in, in a modern world [Chorus] (Calling America) Can't get a message through (Calling America) That's what she said to do (Calling America) That's where she has to be (Calling America) She left a number for me (Calling America, Calling America, Calling America Calling America, Calling America, Calling America Calling America)
