Lyrics
[Intro]
Hi, it's me, what's up, baby? (Hello?)
I'm sorry, listen, I'm gonna be late tonight
So don't stay up and wait for me, okay?
Wait, wait, say that again? (Where are you?)
You're really dropping out (Hello?)
I think my battery must be low
Listen, if you can hear me
We're going to a place nearby, alright?
Gotta go
[Verse 1]
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 and there she was standing in front of me
I said, hi, I got a little place nearby, wanna go?
[Verse 2]
I should've said no
Someone's waiting for me
But I called my girl up, and said
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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's she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Listen baby, I'm sorry (Hello)
Listen baby, I'm sorry (Hello)
Gotta go
[Verse 4]
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
I said, hi, I got a little place nearby, gotta go
[Chorus]
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 dropping out
My battery is low, just so you know
We're going to a place nearby, gotta go
[Chorus]
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 dropping out
My battery is low, just so you know
[Outro]
We're going to a place nearby
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go
