Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you want me, baby, yeah
Just call
Call me
When you need me, baby, yeah
Just call me up
Call me
[Verse 2]
Dial the seven digits, it's quite simple
I'll be there right now
Hurry, Jack, be quick, Jack, be nimble
Just call me up when you feel the need to talk
If words aren't of the essence
I'll soothe you with my presence
A kiss here and there from head to toe
And when it's over call me up when you want more
And you can be king for the day
I'll be the queen, let me treat you that way
[Verse 3]
When you want me, baby, yeah
Just call
Call me
When you need me, baby, yeah
Just call me up (Call me up, hey)
Call me
[Verse 4]
Are you into this, and are we into that
'Cause once we get together
It's like Lena Horne sings Stormy Weather
We can get loose and kinky
You be my teddy bear
Forget your every care
The M E S H E the double L
And I aim to please
Your every little fantasy
You can be king for the day
I'll be the queen, let me treat you that way
[Verse 5]
When you want me, baby, yeah
Just call (Call me up, hey)
Call me
When you need me, baby, yeah
Just call me up (Yes, you can, yeah)
Call me
[Verse 6]
When you want me, baby, yeah
Yes, I'll rush right over
And talk to you
Call me
[Verse 7]
When you need me, baby, yeah
Come here and let me
Talk to you, talk to you, talk to you, baby
[Verse 8]
Get loose, work out, work up a sweat till you fall out
Hey, I'm in the mood for love, so we can play house
I'll treat you like Julius Caesar
Best to bet that I'll treat ya, hmm, like a king
Ring-a-ding-ding
Just call me up 'cause it ain't nothing but the real thing
See it's dazin', glazin', so amazin'
Snugger than a bug in a rug
So let's get crazy
[Verse 9]
When you want me, baby, yeah
Just call (Call me up, yeah)
Call me
When you need me, baby, yeah
Just call
All you gotta do is call me up and I'll be there for you
Call me
[Verse 10]
Warm rays of sun
You and me
Call me up (Call me up, baby)
Call me
Warm rays of sun
You and me
Just call me up
Me and you
Call me
[Verse 11]
When you want me (Call me)
When you need me (Call me)
When you want me
(All you gotta do is call, call me)
When you want me (Call me)
Baby, when you need me (Call me)
When you want me
(All you gotta do is call, call me)
[Verse 12]
When you want me (Call me)
When you need me (Call me)
(Just call, all you gotta do is call, call me)
When you want me (Call me)
When you need me (call me)
(Just call me up, all you gotta do is call, call me)
[Verse 13]
Yo, dial the seven digits, it's quite simple
I'll be there in a hurry
Jack be quick, Jack be nimble
Call me up when you feel the need to talk
When words aren't of the essence
I'll soothe you with my presence
A kiss here and there from head to toe
And when it's over call me up when you want more
Call me up, baby
