Top Unknown/Underratefd Song*: ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman"

One of ELO's career best apparently wasn't good enough for some radio station program directors.  The scores of unemployed or underemployed and those guys and gals had jobs--the nerve of it all!  (btw, the video featured was the best on YouTube, but unfortunately its author had the title wrong...)
 

"Sweet Talkin' Woman"
ELO
 
Where did you go?

I was searchin' searchin' on a one-way street,
I was hopin' hopin' for a chance to meet.
I was waitin' for the operator on the line.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was walkin' many days go by,
I was thinkin' thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights.
Communication breakdown all around.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I've been livin' livin' on a dead end street,
I've been askin' askin' kindly everybody i meet.
Insufficient data coming through.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

Oh, slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

Slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

Slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over. (repeat & fade out)
