Here are the alternate lyrics:



Waiting for the phone to ring

Diamond necklace on my shoulder

Waiting for the phone to ring

Lipstick on my neck and shoulder



It seems to be my fancy

To make it with Frank and Nancy when

Over the bridge we go

Lookin' for love



Over the bridge we go

Lookin' for love



I'll come runnin' to you hey baby if you want me

I'll come runnin' to you baby if you want me



Lookin' at my hands today

Look to me that they're made of ivory

Had a funny call today

Someone died and someone's married



You know that it's my fancy

To make it with Frank and Nancy when

Over the bridge they go

Lookin' for love



Over the bridge we go

Lookin' for love



I'll come runnin' to you hey baby if you want me

I'll come running to you baby if you want me



Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what

(Something's got a hold on me)

Ohhh something's got a hold on me and I don't know what



It's the beginning of a new age... (repeated)
