Lyrics
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 witnesses)
The people said, "Just let it go"
And on and on, and such and such
But they don't ride around with us
No, no, no (hold up, hold up)
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, oh, in the late night)
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
(You used to call me, anytime you need my love, ooh)
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 me, my love
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
(You used to call me, oh, when it late night)
Late night when you need my love
(You used to call me late night when you need my love, ooh)
You've reached the Erykah Badu hotline
If you're calling for Erykah, press one
If you're calling to wish her a happy birthday, Kwanzaa, MLK
Black history Month, Juneteenth, or Hanukkah, press two
If you're calling 'cause you just saw her on BET, MTV, or any other social media outlet
And you're checking to make sure you're still in good standing, press three
If you're calling to beg for some shit in general, press four
If you're calling to beg for some shit
But this is that pre-call before the actual begging, press five
If you've already made that pre-call, and this is the actual call that you beg, press six
If you're calling to ask for those free tickets in a city near you
And know she don't really fuck with you like that? Press seven
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 eight
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
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
You used to call me on my cellular device at night
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 witnesses)
The people say, "Just let it go"
And on and on, and such and such
But they don't ride around with us
Oh, 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
Oh, no, no
You used to call me on my cell
(You used to call me, oh, in the late night, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You used to call me on my cell
(You used to call me late night when you need my love, ooh)
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
