Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello, baby
Yes, it's your friendly phone fanatic again
Oh, yeah, I'm loaded with verbal rap ability, baby
You know you inspire me to poetry
So listen while I recite naughty nothings
That'll wet your eardrums
[Verse 2]
I'd like to, I'd like to, I'd like to, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, can I make sweet love to you, baby?
[Verse 3]
What I'd like to do would be good to you
And if you hang up on me now, I'll be through
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
[Verse 4]
According to the way you make me feel
I guess you'd call it an obscene phone call
I'm not a storyteller though, baby
I'd rather be with you, me to me
Oh, a sorta physical love, like, bubba
Oh, you're the sweetest fantasy I know
You
[Verse 5]
Excuse me if I seem obscene to you
I'm bein' real and that seems the thing to do
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
[Verse 6]
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
Oh, baby, uh, uh, why don't you just hang on?
I'd like to, I'd like to, I'd like to, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd like to make sweet love to you
[Verse 7]
Oh, no, not that, baby
I wanna be real with you
Let me just breathe in your ear hole, baby
Ah
[Verse 8]
(Ah, ah) Don't fake me out
(G-g-g-g-g-g-g-girl)
I love you, baby
(I'd like to make sweet love to you)
Let me see if I can hit that note again, I love you, baby
(Ah, ah)
(G-g-g-g-g-g-g-girl)
(I'd like to make sweet love to you)
Can you just explain to me what key are you in, baby?
(Ah, ah)
I like to get real funk-kay
(G-g-g-g-g-g-g-girl)
(I'd like to make sweet love to you)
[Verse 9]
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
Ah, I'm just livin' and lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you got time to kill
And if I can't get your love, then what's the telephone bill?
[Verse 10]
(Ah, oh)
(G-g-g-g-g-g-g-girl)
(I'd like to make sweet love to you)
[Verse 11]
Maybe I'll manicure your toenails and, um
Make sweet love to you, baby
Rub my body with yours
Wait a minute, operator
Ay, ay, I'm not talkin' to you
