Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, fuck calling up your phone
I got everything you want
So addicted when you sing
Have you coming back to me
'Cause you're calling on my phone
I got everything you need
Man, she's looking all alone
She's looking for me
(Looking for me, yeah, ooh, yeah)

Gon' and do your 'lone
Go buy designer things
Gon' and do your 'lone
Go find the finer things
Gon' and do your 'lone, go
Find that kind of man, girl
Gon' and do your 'lone, 'cause I'm
Not that kind of man, no

Drippin' sauce, drippin' sauce
Drippin' sauce, drippin' sauce
Gang on my chain, let me thaw my wrist
Pick you up when you want
Know you wanna see me more
Dance in the sheets, let me call my bitch
Get it right, get it right, beat it up
Beat it up fi fo fi fum, four, five, six
You got a nigga? I swear I'll beat him up
Pockets on oversized
He don't really eat enough
Baby, we be ballin' together
Need to find a better team
Maybe bronze is the medal
Pull up on the scene in a Dawn, new level
If they ain't like me
You gon' have to do better
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's play by ear
It ain't on me, okay, maybe a little
And I don't need it, really I don't care
I know it

'Cause you're calling on my phone
I got everything you want
So addicted when you sing
Have you coming back to me
'Cause you're calling on my phone
I got everything you need
Man, she's looking all alone
She's looking for me
(Looking for me, yeah, ooh, yeah)
Gon' and do your 'lone
Go buy designer things
Gon' and do your 'lone
Go find the finer things
Gon' and do your 'lone, go
Find that kind of man, girl
Gon' and do your 'lone, 'cause I'm
Not that kind of man, no

Girl, fuck calling up your phone
I got everything you want
So addicted when you sing
Have you coming back to me
'Cause you're calling on my phone
I got everything you need
Man, she's looking alone




She's looking for me
(Looking for me, yeah, ooh, yeah)

Overall Meaning

The song "Telephone" by Chris Brown feat. Tory Lanez is about a man who has everything his love interest desires, so he tells her to stop calling his phone because he already has everything she wants. He's confident that he can keep her coming back to him because she's addicted to his presence and his singing. The man also warns her to not waste her time looking for a different type of man because he's not that kind of person. However, he doesn't seem too concerned about her finding someone else, as he is more focused on enjoying his luxurious lifestyle and dancing in the sheets with her.


The lyrics convey a sense of arrogance and detachment. The man seems to view his relationship with the woman as a transaction, as if he can provide her with everything she wants in exchange for her loyalty and affection. He doesn't seem to care about her feelings or well-being, as long as she keeps coming back to him. The repetition of the phrases "I got everything you want" and "I got everything you need" reinforces this idea of material wealth being the primary factor in their relationship.
