  • Try and breathe some life into a letter
    Losing hope, never be together
    My courage is at it's peak
    You know what I mean

    How do say you're okay to
    An answering machine?
    How do you say good night to
    An answering machine?

    Big town's got its losers
    Small town's got its vices
    A handful of friends
    One needs a match, one needs some ice

    Call-waiting phone in another time zone
    How do you say I miss you to
    An answering machine?
    How do say good night to
    An answering machine?

    Try and free a slave of ignorance
    Try and teach a whore about romance

    How do you say I miss you to
    An answering machine?
    How do you say good night to
    An answering machine?
    How do you say I'm lonely to
    An answering machine?
    The message is very plain
    Oh, I hate your answering machine
    I hate your answering machine
    I hate your answering machine
    I hate your answering machine Writer/s: Paul Westerberg
