1 lonely: A "lonely" person feels isolated or alone. They need companions and friends. Donna suggests that some of her listeners are "lonely" and asks them to call in to her show.
2 fat: A "fat" person is "overweight" or "heavy". "Fat" isn't the most polite term to describe being overweight! Donna suggests that some of her listeners are "fat" and asks them to call in to her show.
3 toll-free: "A toll-free hotline (or phone number)" describes a hotline which is free for the caller. On its own, the term "toll" refers to a fee or cost (like the fee to drive on a bridge or highway in some places). Donna's phone number at the radio station is free for callers all over the world. Note that in British English a "toll free number" is a "Freephone (number)" and in Australia a "Freecall" number.

This statement is true. Susie tells Dr. Donna that she drinks no more than the average "single, overworked executive". In this context, the term "single" indicates that Susie is unmarried. She then tells Donna that she doesn't have time to meet anyone. Both of these statements indicate that Susie is "unmarried".
This statement is false. Susie tells Donna that after a day of work, she only has enough energy to have a glass of Pinot Grigio (an Italian white wine) and watch an episode of "Sex And The City" (a popular television show). Susie is saying that she does do this, although she is too tired to do anything else (like look for a boyfriend, for example).
Susie tells Donna that driving around in her car makes her feel "carsick", which is the type of nausea or discomfort some people experience when driving or riding in a car (usually long distance). Susie feels sick when she drives, not because of her solitude. Susie never mentions that her loneliness (or solitude) bothers her. Donna is the one who implies this throughout the conversation.
Susie repeatedly tells Dr. Donna that she has no time to find a boyfriend, and that she has no energy after stressful days at work. These statements indicate that she is generally very tired after work.
This statement is true. Dr. Donna asks Susie if she has a "partner", which in this context refers to a boyfriend or girlfriend. Susie replies that she doesn't, and that she doesn't have time to meet anyone.

An "optimistic" person is hopeful, positive or confident. Donna would be unlikely to say to her listeners "don't give up hope" (meaning "stay hopeful") if she were convinced that they are already optimistic about finding love.
Donna wonders if some of her listeners can't find the right person to share their life with, or have trouble meeting people in general. It is fair to say that she is referring to "lonely" people when she says this. A "lonely" person doesn't have friends or partners and feels alone and isolated.
A "sleepy" person is very tired, or might fall asleep at any moment. Although Donna mentions that her service can make dreams come true, she never specifies "sleepy" people in her audience.
Donna speculates that some of her listeners are "fat" or "heavy" and are "sitting around eating ice cream". She is convinced that her service, "the Love Connection" hotline, is ideal for these people. The terms "fat" and "heavy" are synonymous with each other. Note that "heavy" is more polite than "fat".

1 feeling: The verb "to feel" describes the act of sensing or perceiving something, emotionally or physically. Edward sings that sometimes he "feels" sad and "lonely". Other examples: I'm feeling hungry, She's feeling sick.
2 lonely: The adjective "lonely" describes feeling "alone", "isolated" or without friends.
3 pick up: To "pick up (the phone)" is to answer it, as well as to physically lift the receiver to your ear. Examples: The phone is ringing, pick it up! Or: I picked up the phone and dialed the phone number. Edward sings that when he is feeling sad and lonely he "picks up" the telephone in order to "call" or "telephone" the Delavigne Corporation.
4 800: Edward sings that he will call "1-800-DELAVIGNE", a phone number for Delavigne perfumes, we can assume. Numbers beginning with "1-800" are common "toll-free" (no cost) numbers in America. The numeral "800" is spelled "eight hundred".
5 skin: The "skin" is the outer layer of the body and our largest organ. Many creams are designed to soften or moisturize the skin.
