Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun

I'm caught up
I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Ring ring ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done I'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
You'll wake up one day
But it'll be too late

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing
Every little thing
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Waiting for your call
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly

So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly
So slowly

I don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing
Every little thing
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Waiting for your call
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

    Song Meaning:Hung Up-One of Lady M.L. Ciccone's best hard rockers. Her guitar Ablaze with Thunder and Fire, Hung Up is a sad and tearful Metal/Rock Dance on her mother's grave. In this guitar song, Madonna's Sad and beautiful Rock Voice Cries "Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone/The lights are on but there's no one Home!"-only serves as a sad reminder that she misses her mother dearly. Ever since the age of five, Lady Madonna has searched for and Cried Out for her existence-that her Ciccone/Peron/Simpson Voice and Character has Cried is a resounding victory for not only her own but for all of us-her fanbase and audience
    -who truly love her as a brilliant rocker and performance artist. That Madonna sings, cries and dances Her Dance on a Highwire Trapeze is a victory for America, the world and rock & roll. Her Art is about Her Life-and our lives in return. I'm Hung Up on Madonna because her personal is our universal and there no greater love and tribute than that. Madonna has a gift to share with the world and that gift is her music. Time indeed goes by so slowly because of the innate emotion in her beautiful voice and that is why Hung Up is a Brilliant Confession on her Lonely Heart Kabbalah Dance Floor. Madonna Forever! In the Evidence of Her Detroit Brilliance! Rock Hard Madge!

    General Comment:okay, the first few times i heard this song, i liked it. the video is very addicting, minus the part of her standing over the radio. that was a bit foul. but after a while, this song does getting annoying.

    meaning:: she's hung up on a guy. duhh.
