Cel U Lar Device

You used to call me on my cell u lar device at night

You used to call me on my cell u lar device at night

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 never seen before

You used to call me on my cell u lar device at night

You used to call me on my cell u lar 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

2-1-4, witness

Some people said, "Just let it go"

And on and on, and such and such

But they don't ride around with us

No, no, no, uh, hold up, hold up

Ain't that too bad, we love to hang

And for awhile it stayed the same

But now you tryna change the game

No, no, no

You used to call me on my cell u lar device at night (You used to call me)

(Ooh, in late night, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You used to call me on my cell u lar device at night (You used to call me)

(At any time you need my love)

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

(Ooh, babe, well, well, well)

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

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love

Late night when you need my love

(You used to call me, oh, in the late night)

Late night when you need my love

(You used to call me at any time you need my love, ooh)

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 BET

MTV, or any of the social media outlets

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 the pre-call

Before the actual begging, press five

If you've already made that pre-call and this is the actual call

To 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 barbecue

Or to DJ at your little cousin's Slip 'N 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 really don't answer voicemail
