Cel U Lar Device

You used to call me on my cellular device at night

You used to call me on my cellular device at night

And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

Ever since I left the city you

Got a reputation for yourself now

Everybody knows and I feel left out

Boy, you got me down, and got me stressed out

Cause ever since I left the city, you

Started gettin' dressed and goin' out more

Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor

Hangin' with some dudes I've never seen before

You used to call me on my cellular device at night

You used to call me on my cellular device at night

And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

(Two and four witnesses)

Them people just said let it go

And on and on and such and such

But they don't ride around with us

No, no, no (hold up, hold up)

Ain't that too bad we love to hang

And for a while, it stays the same

But now you tryna change the game

No, no, no

You used to call me on my cellular device at night (you use to call me, oh in the late night)

You used to call me on my cellular device at night (you use to call me, anytime you need my love, oh)

And I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

I know when that hotline bling, that could only mean one thing

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love (you use to call me late night when you need my love)

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love (you use to call me late night when you need my love)

You've reached the Erykah Badu hotline

If you're calling for Erykah, press one

If you're calling to wish her a happy birthday, Kwanzaa, MLK

Black history Month, Juneteenth, or Hanukkah, press two

If you're calling because you just saw her on B. E.t, MTV, or any other social media outlet

And you're checking to make sure you're still in good standing, press three

If you're calling to beg for some shit in general, press four

If you're calling to beg for some shit, but this is that pre-call before the actual begging, press five

If you've already made that pre-call and this is the actual call that you beg, press six

If you're calling to ask for some free tickets in a city near you

And know she don't really fuck with you like that? Press seven

If you're calling to book Erykah, to flip the first burger at your company BBQ

Or to DJ at your little cousins slip-and-slide party, press eight

If you're calling to say peace, and don't really fit into any of those descriptions

Text me, because I don't really answer voicemail
