Telephone Love
Diplo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time
Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time

When you call I feel so good
Wish you were livin' in my neighborhood
So you can hang up the phone and rush on over
Take off where we left off under the covers

Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time
Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line, yeah
Telephone love, you make my day every time

If anyone else could see me
They would never understand
I'm just living out my fantasy
Talk your love with my mind

Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time, yeah
Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time

Telephone love
Telephone love
Telephone love
Telephone love

Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time, yeah
Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time

Whatever you do, don't hang up, don't hang up
Just keep pouring it out till you fill my cup
I'm lost in you whenever you speak, hey
When you call my name, I feel so weak

Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time
Telephone love, you sound so sweet on the line
Telephone love, you make my day every time, every time
(Telephone love)
Every time

Telephone lover, come back on the cover
(Telephone love)
Telephone love, you're so good to me
(Telephone love)




I need you desperately
Telephone lover

Later in the song, Diplo imagines the sexual possibilities that come with physical proximity to his beloved: “So you can hang up the phone and rush on over / Take off where we left off under the covers.” Diplo recognizes that the telephone call is only a precursor to a more satisfying physical union.

Lyrics:

Remember the feeling of my fingertips on your skin
And the way that our kisses taste, sweet about to drink in
And the way that I rage into your love while you breathe me in
Just so you can feel me with you even when I'm not around

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love

Tantrums
Set fires
Two dice
We roll
Excite
Your eyes
Inhale
The la (Love)

Playin' in the dark
Rules break, why pretend
We take what we can
We ride till the end, till the sun
Push that weight on me like a fiend
Let's rage in the moonlight calm
Like a shot rings out in the darkness
So you don't forget my love

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love

Remember the feeling of my fingertips on your skin
And the way that our kisses taste sweeter after drinking
And the way that I rage into your love while you breathe me in
Just so you can feel me with you even when I'm not around

Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love

Tantrums, set fire
Two dice, we roll
Excite, your eyes
Inhale the love

Play in the dark
Rules break, why pretend?
We take what we can
We ride to the end, to the sun
Push that weight on me like a fiend
Let's rage in the moonlight, calm
Like a shot rings out in the darkness

So you don't forget my love
Don't forget my love
Don't forget my love, don't forget my love
Don't forget my love, don't forget my love
Don't forget my love, don't forget...

Don't forget my love
