Ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong
Ring ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong (sing it)
Ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong
Ring ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong (sing it)

It's been a long time waiting for your phone call
一晩中でも I can wait you all night
Ring a ding dong as I pick up my phone
"Whatcha doin' girl?!" 友達だった

So much for waiting like forever
But I won't give it, give it up, give it up, no!
I've already had a bath and dried my hair
ヒマすぎちゃって got my pedicure done

I wanna hear you
I wanna talk to you
Call me up babe 'cause I'm missing you babe
待ちきれないから just call me right now!

Oh my babe my love
今すぐ call me up oh baby
オヤスミの前に baby
Oh my babe my love
今すぐ give it to me baby
電話越しに kiss me baby

Ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong
Ring ring a ding dong ring ring a ding dong (sing it)

You finally called it's already midnight
待ちくたびれて feelin' little grumpy
Fighting over phone ちょっと意地張って
All I wanted to hear was "Sorry baby"

Yellin' at him tellin' him "I hate you!"
「マジ信じらんない!」don't treat me like that
I hang up the call with my tears running down
Thinkin' maybe I should say "Sorry baby"

I wanna hear you
I wanna talk to you
Call me up babe 'cause I'm missing you babe
こっちからかけたくない call me right now!

Oh my babe my love
今すぐ call me up oh baby
素直になれないの baby
Oh my babe my love
本当は I do love you baby
お願い forgive me baby

You gotta understand it
本当はすごく寂しいの baby don't you see?
少し clingy だけれど dramatic だけど
This is me ありのまま受け止めて欲しい baby

Uh call me up call me up now
Uh call me up call me up
Uh call me up call me up now
Uh call me up

Oh my babe my love
今すぐ call me up oh baby
オヤスミの前に baby
Oh my babe my love
今すぐ give it to me baby
電話越しに kiss me baby

Oh my babe my love
今すぐ call me up oh baby
素直になれないの baby
Oh my babe my love




本当は I do love you baby
お願い forgive me baby
