The Call

(album: Black & Blue - 2000)

"Hello?"
"Hi. It's me. What's up, baby? I'm sorry. Listen, I'm gonna be late tonight. So, don't stay up and wait for me. OK?"
"Where are you?"
"Wait, wait. Say that again?"
"Hello?"
"You're really dropping out. I think my battery must be low. Listen, if you can hear me we're going to a place nearby. Alright? Gotta go."

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me
And said, "Hi
I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?"
I should have said, "No
Someone's waiting for me,"
But I called my girl up and said

"Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late. Don't stay up and wait for me
Say again. You're dropping out. My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go."

Now two years gone
Nothing's been won
I can't take it back. What's done is done
One of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside
That she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied

"Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late. Don't stay up and wait for me
Say again. You're dropping out. My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go."

Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Hello?

Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Hello?

Gotta go

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me
And said, "Hi
I got a little place nearby
Gotta go."

"Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late. Don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again. You're just dropping out. My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late. Don't stay up and wait for me
I'll say again. You're just dropping out. My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
We're going to a place nearby
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go."
