Hotline Bling
Charlie Puth Lyrics

You used to call me on my cell phone
You used to contact me directly whenever you were lonely or in need of love.

Late night when you need my love
In times of the night when you feel like having love.

Call me on my cell phone
Get in touch with me through my cell phone.

And I know when that hotline bling
I understand that when the phone rings, it's about you.

That can only mean one thing
That can only signify one thing.

Ever since I left the city you
Since I left your side a while ago.

Got a reputation for yourself now
Earned a personality of your own among others.

Everybody knows and I feel left out
Everyone knows except me, and I feel excluded.

Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
You make me feel down and anxious.

'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Because you've been different since I left.

Started wearing less and goin' out more
You dress more suggestively and socialize more often.

Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Drinking champagne while dancing.

Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
Spending time with unfamiliar females.

You and me we just don't get along
We can't seem to agree on anything.

You make me feel like I did you wrong
You make me feel guilty for something I didn't do.

Going places where you don't belong
Traveling to unknown locations.

You got exactly what you asked for
You're getting what you wanted.

Running out of pages on your passport
Traveling a lot and almost using up all passport pages.

Hanging with some girls I never seen before
Spending time with new female friends.

Call me on my cell phone, you used to do
Contact me through my phone, just like before.

When you needed love or just someone to talk to
When you wanted love or someone to have a conversation with.

But now it seems like you've got something to prove
It seems like you're trying to prove something.

And when that hotline blings, I see it clear
When the phone rings, I know it's you.

It means you're looking for me and still hold me dear
It means you're searching for me and still care about me.

But I can't keep playing these games with you, my dear
But I can't keep participating in these endeavors with you, my love.

You're changing and it's making me feel unclear
You're changing and it's making things uncertain between us.

Ever since I left the city and our love died
Since I left the city and our relationship decayed.

I see you've become a social butterfly
I see that you're much more social now.

Drinking champagne, living that high life
Drinking and living luxuriously.

Surrounded by new friends, never time for 'you and I'
Surrounded by new friends, without any time for us to be alone.

Now that I know what that hotline means
Now that I understand what the hotline represents.

I realize you're trying to bridge the distance between
I comprehend that you're trying to lessen the gap between us.

We're not getting along, no matter how hard we try
We cannot get along, regardless of the effort we put in.

You're out exploring, and I'm living my own life
You're exploring your own interests, and I'm living my own life.

So call me on my cell phone, anytime
Contact me through my cell phone, anytime.

But let's be real, things will never be fine
But let's face reality, things cannot be good anymore.

We had our time, now it's time to move on
Our time together is up, it's time for us to move forward.

And leave behind the memories of what has gone.
And forget about the memories of the past.
