Ring Ring
Aaron Soul Lyrics

One to one
Ericson, battery done

My, baby I'm sorry when we were last face to face,
There was some tension up in the place,
Girl I didn't mean to flip, trying to hold it down and get a grip,
Temperature was rising up on our case,
As I left the scene I said some things I didn't mean
I had some beef to release instead of holding down the peace,
As I got home I thought of it once or twice,
Some things I said baby just weren't nice,

Whenever I call you now it seems like your not home,
Are you with somebody else or are you alone?
Why don't you call me like I wish you would?
Like I think you should, that why I'm sitting here listening,

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, my cellphones not ringing,
I really want you to call me, why don't you call me like I wish you would?
Ring, ring, ring, your cellphone keeps ringing,
Whats wrong with your phone line, when I'm ringing to see if you're feeling fine?
Ring, ring, ring, my cellphones not ringing,
Now you got me worrying now you got me panicking,
Ring, ring, ring, your cellphone keeps ringing,
Girl you got me thinking 'bout the things I've been saying,

My, baby I promise when we are next face to face
I'll pay attention to your style & your grace,
You know I'll keep it tight,
I'll be right there right by your side,
Anything you want girl, everything to your taste,

I know as I left the scene I said some things I didn't mean
I had some beef to release, instead of holding down the peace,
Now I'm singing this song to this melody,
Hoping my phone sings this ring, ring, ring, ring, ring,

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, my cellphone not ringing,
I really want you to call me why don't you call me like I wish you would?
Ring, ring, ring, your cellphone keeps ringing,
Whats wrong with your phone line, when I'm ring to see if you're feeling fine?
Ring, ring, ring, my cellphones not ringing,
Now you got me wondering now you got me panicking,
Ring, ring, ring your cellphone keeps ringing,
Girl you got me thinking 'bout the things I've been saying,

She's watching her caller I.D
And she's watching to see if it's me who is calling,
She won't ring me to tell me we're cool
And I'm sitting here waiting for her like a fool,
Someone should tell her she should watch her back
‘Cause I might find another to scratch my back,
But in the meantime I am still waiting for my phone to start singing
And ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring,

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, [ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring]
My cellphones not ringing,
I really want you to call me why don't you call me like I wish you would?
Ring, ring, ring, your cellphone keeps ringing,
Whats wrong with your phone line, when I'm ring to see if you're feeling fine?
Ring, ring, ring, my cellphones not ringing,
Now you got me worrying now you got me panicking,
Ring, ring, ring your cellphone keeps ringing,
Girl you got me thinking 'bout the things I've been saying,

[Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, [ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring]
My cellphones not ringing,
I really want you to call me why don't you call me like I wish you would?
Ring, ring, ring, your cellphone keeps ringing,
Whats wrong with your phone line, when I'm ring to see if you're feeling fine?
Ring, ring, ring, my telephones not ringing,
Now you got me worrying now you got me panicking,




Ring, ring, ring your telephone keep ringing,
Girl you got me thinking 'bout the things I've been saying.
