Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written par 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 suivant one," a dit Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the suivant 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 par the Pointer Sisters, for the original 1983 version of their album, Break Out (on the seconde pressing Nightline was replaced par I'm So Excited B-side of the group's hit single, Automatic.
It was also recorde par Ellen Foley for her 1983 album, Another Breath and par Randy Crawford for her album of the same titre 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 feu line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
What I'd like to hear
Every night about midnight
The call comes through
toi turn it on the Nite Line
'Cause toi know just what to do
And I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
par 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 feu 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)
par the phone
(By the phone)
Why don't toi 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 toi call me, baby? Hee!
Call me on the Nite Line!
(Call me, darling!)
Whisper in my ear
(Won't toi call me, baby!) Hee!
Sending through the feu line
What I'd like to hear - Oo!

Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up - Oh!

Whisper in my ear
Sending through the feu line

" Oh Michael! It's so beautiful."
He smiled. " So, will toi marry me?"
I looked at the ring. It was a 250 carat or ring with diamond crusted all around it. " Fancy" was engraved on the ring. It was so magical. I looked into his eyes and a dit " Yes."
Michael looked up at me. " Say what now?"
I nodded rapidly. " Yes Michael! Yes!"
Everyone cheered except Joe. " What?!?! Michael can't be marrying that girl!" Joe screamed.
Michael frowned. " Joseph, I l’amour Fancy. She is my life. And if toi can't except that, then you're not invited to the wedding!
I felt a tear gently slide down my face. Everyone was feeling sorry for me. " See, now toi have Fancy crying!" LaToya scolded. Fancy, Janet and LaToya went to the wedding robe boutique to boutique for gowns and dresses.
Do toi agree with Fancy's decision. If so/not, commentaire below!!! I'd l’amour to hear your comments!
