Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written sejak 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 seterusnya one," berkata Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the seterusnya 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 sejak the Pointer Sisters, for the original 1983 version of their album, Break Out (on the saat pressing Nightline was replaced sejak I'm So Excited B-side of the group's hit single, Automatic.

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 api, kebakaran line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
What I'd like to hear

Every night about midnight
The call comes through
anda turn it on the Nite Line

'Cause anda know just what to do
And I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
sejak 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 api, kebakaran 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)
sejak the phone
(By the phone)
Why don't anda 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 anda call me, baby? Hee!

Call me on the Nite Line!
(Call me, darling!)
Whisper in my ear
(Won't anda call me, baby!) Hee!
Sending through the api, kebakaran 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 api, kebakaran 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 api, kebakaran line
What I'd like to hear

(Repeat and fade out)
