(Hello?)

(Hi, it's me, what's up baby?)

(I'm sorry, listen)

(I'm gonna be late tonight so don't stay up and wait for me, ok?)

(Where are you?)

(Wait, wait! Say that again?)

(Hello?)

(You're really dropping out, I think my battery must be low)

(Listen, if you can hear me)

(We're going to this place nearby alright, gotta go!)

Let me tell you the story 'bout 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

And said: Hi, I got a little place nearby, wanna go?

I should've said: No, someone's waiting for me

But I called my girl up and said

Listen, baby, I'm sorry

Just wanna tell ya 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!

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 she's not by my side

Just because I made that call and lied

Listen, baby, I'm sorry

Just wanna tell ya 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!

Listen baby I'm sorry (hello?)

Listen baby I'm sorry (hello?)

Listen baby I'm sorry (hello?)

Gotta go

Oh (oh, oh, oh)

Oh (oh, oh, oh)

Oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh (oh, oh, oh)

Oh (oh, oh, oh)

Let me tell you the story 'bout 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

And said: Hi, I got a little place nearby

Gotta go!

Listen, baby, I'm sorry

Just wanna tell ya 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!

Listen, baby, I'm sorry

Just wanna tell ya 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!

Listen, baby, I'm sorry

Just wanna tell ya 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

We're going to a place nearby, gotta go!
