So you think you can just call me like this?
Naw. not me.
Oh really?
So you sitting at home
Got bored and you called me up
You so silly did you think that i'd be hangin round just waitin on you?
But who are you kiddin?
Your girlfriend probably just dumped you.
So you went through your phone just to see who'd pick up
But it won't be me no.
(not gonna be the one you call)
Cause you missed out on a good one
Now you're feelin lonely
(not gonna be the one you call)
I forgot all bout you why you all on me?
(not gonna be the one you call)
You should really go back to her
Cause right now you working my nerve
Cause i'm not gonna be not
Not gonna be the one you call
So you don't listen?
Did you not get the hint
When i said i'm not interested
With me your times ran out
Don't you think you should give up now
But who are you kiddin?
I know for a fact your girl dumped you
Heard you took it real hard
Kinda feel sorry for you
But it won't be me sorry it won't be me
(not gonna be the one you call)
Cause you missed out on a good one
Now you're feelin lonely
(not gonna be the one you call)
I forgot all bout you why you all on me?
(not gonna be the one you call)
You should really go back to her
Cause right now you working my nerve
Cause i'm not gonna be not
Not gonna be the one you call
Now i know it's hard to get over a break up
But what gives you the right to think that i'm gonna wait up
Don't you see that you're playin yourself
Tryin to break a promise to somebody else
So when you're feelin lonely next time
Don't call me (not gonna be the one you call)
Cause you missed out on a good one
And now you're feelin lonely
(not gonna be the one you call)
I forgot all bout you why you all on me?
(not gonna be the one you call)
You should really go back to her
Cause right now you working my nerve
Cause i'm not gonna be not
Not gonna be the one you call
Not gonna be the one you call [til fade out]
