Call Me
Cherry Glazerr feat. Portugal. The Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just as real
I'm just as new
I'm just as pretty
I'm just like you

You gotta help me somebody
I'm out here sleepwalking all alone
Don't be a slave to your money
Buzzin' on the telephone and sweet like a honeycomb

I've got a message you won't believe (call me, call me up)
I've got a message that you can't read (call me, call me up)
I've got a secret that you can't see (call me, call me up)
So secret, a secret, a payment for me (call me, call me up)

Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up
Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up

I might get richer (I might get richer)
I might get cold (I might get cold)
Come touch this leather
Come close till you need me and I'll be the one to hold

I've got a message you won't believe (call me, call me up)
I've got a message that you can't read (call me, call me up)
I've got a secret that you can't see (call me, call me up)
So secret, a secret, a payment for me (call me, call me up)

Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up
Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up

I've got a message you won't believe
I've got a message that you can't read
I've got a secret that you can't see (call me, call me up)
So secret, a secret, a payment for me (call me, call me up)

Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up




Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me up
