Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written por Glen Ballard, Brie Howard, David Allen Faragher (1982) for Michael's Thriller album, but failed to make the final track listing.
"When I found out it wasn't going to be on there, I just said, I'll be on the seguinte one," said Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the seguinte two, which cumulatively sold over 50 million. It turned out to be good karma. I feel that if Nite-Line had been on Thriller, I would never have written Man In The Mirror, which is an infinitely better song, and one of the best in my catalogue."
It was recorded as Nightline por the Pointer Sisters, for the original 1983 version of their album, Break Out (on the segundo pressing Nightline was replaced por I'm So Excited B-side of the group's hit single, Automatic.
It was also recorde por Ellen Foley for her 1983 album, Another Breath and por Randy Crawford for her album of the same título in 1994.

The Lyrics
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up
Calling on the Nite Line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
Can't get enough
Calling on the Nite Line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the fogo line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
What I'd like to hear
Every night about midnight
The call comes through
You turn it on the Nite Line
'Cause you know just what to do
And I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
por the phone
(By the phone) Alone.
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up
(Call me, baby)
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough
(Call me, darling)
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Whisper in my ear - Aow!
Sending through the fogo line
What I'd like to hear
Make it person-to-person
Make it heart-to-heart
Darling, your communication
Is sending up sparks
I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
por the phone
(By the phone)
Why don't you give me a call?
(Calling on the Nite Line
Getting me up)
I wanna call
(Calling on the Nite Line
Can't get enough)
Why don't you call me, baby? Hee!
Call me on the Nite Line!
(Call me, darling!)
Whisper in my ear
(Won't you call me, baby!) Hee!
Sending through the fogo line
What I'd like to hear - Oo!
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line) Oo!
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up - Oh!
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough
(Call me, baby!)
Calling on the Nite Line
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the fogo line
What I'd like to hear
Calling on the Nite Line
Getting me up - Oh!
Call me on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough
(Call me, baby!)
Calling on the Nite Line
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the fogo line
What I'd like to hear
(Repeat and fade out)
