Stop Calling Me
Cherish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked past you turned your head.
While your girlfriend was standing there.
Gave you my number just cause I was in a hurry, that's when it all began.
Damn how'd you become my man.
What am I to do.
You telling everybody that I'm your boo.
Oh that ain't cool.
Even if I threw a hint you.
Know girls just like attention.
But they don't like when you keep calling and calling and calling.
[Chorus]
I can't take what you doing to me.
Boy why is it so hard for you to see.
If you keep calling trying to holla.
There's no need.
To keep calling me, so stop calling me.
You be calling 3 and 4 times in a row.
If you can't reach me on my cell.
You call my home.
How many times do I have to let you know, to stop calling me.
Boy quit calling me, quit calling me.
Now it's getting ridiculous and I'm about to lose my mind.
'Cause when I changed my number.
You called and got it from my Mama.
Oh now you tripping boo.
Why hold on when I don't want you.
You find another girl who'll love to put up with you.
What am I to do.
You telling everybody that I'm your boo.
Oh that ain't cool.
Why can't you see I'm not felling you.
It was not your swagger.
Not your game that doesn't bother me.
But it does when you keep calling me, calling me.
[Chorus]
In Cherish's song "Stop Calling Me," the singer is expressing her frustration with a man who won't stop calling her. Upon meeting him, she knew he was trouble and only gave him her number because she was in a hurry. However, the man has persistently pursued her and claimed her as his "boo" even though she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. She tries to drop hints and distance herself, but he continues to call her multiple times in a row and even got her new number from her mother after she changed it.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes how annoying and unattractive obsessive behavior is. Even though girls like attention, they don't appreciate being called constantly and having their boundaries ignored. The singer is fed up with the man's behavior and urges him to stop calling her because it's unnecessary and unwanted.
Overall, the lyrics showcase the importance of respecting someone's boundaries and not pursuing them if they're not interested. The singer clearly sets her boundaries and makes it clear that the man's advances are not welcome.
