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, witness!)

Some 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

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 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

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've reached the Erykah Badu hotline

If you're calling for Erykah, press 1

If you're calling to wish her a happy birthday, Kwanzaa, MLK, Black History Month, Juneteenth, or Hanukkah, press 2

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 3

If you're calling to beg for some shit in general, press 4

If you're calling to beg for some shit, but this is that pre-call before the actual begging, press 5

If you've already made that pre-call and this is the actual call that you beg, press 6

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 7

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 8

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
