**[Verse 1]**
“Hello, what’s up?” I answered the phone. “Isn’t this a Carpenter’s song?” he asked. “Oh, yes, it is ‘Close to You,'” I replied. There was no way I could tell him that my mom was singing background music for us young love in the air. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” I said noncommittally.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
“So, what?” I asked. “I was just wondering if you got home safely,” he replied.
**[Chorus 1]**
“To tell you the truth, I want to hear your beautiful voice,” he thought to himself. “To tell you the truth, I waited for your phone call, and I want to hear you talk,” she thought to herself.
**[Verse 2]**
“I got home safely,” I answered. “By the way, your mother is a good singer!” he said, adding, “She has a beautiful voice, like an angel. I wish I could record it and listen to it over and over again.” “You’re praising her too much; she’ll get carried away and sing for you now,” I replied.
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
“Really? I’m so happy!” he said. “Enough about Mom,” I said, wondering to myself, “What are you going to do about being in love with my mom?”
**[Chorus 2]**
“To tell you the truth, I want to hear your beautiful voice,” he thought to himself. “To tell you the truth, I waited for your phone call, and I want to hear you talk,” she thought to herself.

**[Verse 3]**
“Tomorrow is Monday, so we have school, and after that, we go to private tutoring,” he said, adding, “It’s going to be fun.” “What do you mean, fun? Which part are you looking forward to?” I asked. “I’m looking forward to tutoring,” he replied. “Why?” I asked. “Because I get to see you,” he responded.
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
“Really? I’m so happy!” I replied, feeling encouraged by him, and ended up telling him how I really felt.
**[Chorus 3]**
“To tell you the truth, I want to hear your beautiful voice,” he thought to himself. “To tell you the truth, I waited for your phone call, and I want to hear you talk,” she thought to herself.
**[Final Chorus]**
“To tell you the truth, I want to hear your beautiful voice,” he thought to himself. “To tell you the truth, I waited for your phone call, and I want to hear you talk,” she thought to herself.
“By the way, whose song is your mom singing?” he asked.
“Did she make it?” I replied.
