Shad - Telephone lyrics

[Verse 1: Shad] I've been called a bad boyfriend and even worse ex Told put God first and her next If she's the only girl like Snow White or Smurfette She's not, I am dating nobody, nobody's perfect And there's no sure bets, just courage and first steps We don't talk, got hang-ups and one-word texts Lessons learned on hurt and discipline In repair, still need a lotta work like Michigan State improves when my Pistons win or when I see my sis again Missing friends I call when I'm getting bent Out of shape over, wait, fix that Fit but no six-pack cause I won't do sit ups or give up Big Macs With Shad you always get a mixed bag Sadness and joy, wins and mishaps Healed wounds and picked scabs More ups and downs than a Six Flags Music with a message I left after the click Don't go [Hook: Lisa Lobsinger] I said, "don't you go" But you hate talking on the phone You're way too close to home (try your call again) [x2] [Verse 2: Shad] She's so off the hook, but when I'm letting go of the telephone She goes off the wall, like a hella old centerfold Should've left the cell at home We're breaking up, can't hear what she's saying but I get the tone

Nah'mean? Nah, I've never known Say you mean well, then how come I'm left alone When I need help? This female won't take my calls It's like pool and that's her cue to break my balls The games we play, replay the same each day Phone tag, hide-and-seek with the PDA off I'm on course like the PGA Towards a deep sea cave where my treasure is kept Buried like d**h in the depths where I keep me safe I'm just like, "Aye, we'll keep in touch" Not close like Glenn, just close enough And the attachment's still there, just never opened up [Hook] [Verse 3: Shad] And the bill for my cell is high c-notes, Wynton Marsalis Man, why Telus gotta be so selfish? Helpless, ran out of luck Ran out of minutes on my Solo before I could finish (don't go) Don't end this while I'm roaming on the road dough low Woken up with a special ring like Frodo I get the picture, don't upload the photo I can see you both, pixels in my mind load in slow-mo TLO on the mixer switch to phono For grown folks BB pinning hopes but the phone's broke Disconnected, just a second I'm cutting out, TLO cut the records
