[Verse 1]
If I seem to talk too loud
If I seem a bit too proud
If I talk incessantly
Of them and us and liberty
And a useless solidarity

[Verse 2]
If I've got too much to say
About things too far away
If it's time to stop and see
The circumstance of you and me
With some truth and clarity

[Chorus]
Only when you call do I feel the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call

[Verse 3]
When it's hard to stand by me
When I test your charity
When my shoulder bears a chip
That wears down relationships
Can we say it's only history?
[Chorus]
Only when you call do I feel the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call

[Bridge]
She says: Love is as rich as the sea
With strange things swimming inside it
And people can drown and you gotta go down
If your head and your heart are divided

[Chorus]
Only when you call do I feet the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call do I feet the beat of a human heart
Only when you call me
Only when we talk do I hear the sound of a woman now
Only when you call
