Monday
The day that u went away
And now you so faraway

Many miles away oh no
I try to find a way

If there is any way
For me to say oh my baby girl please come home

Without say hi
You and your mate drove passed me by
Oh you got me broke down, girl i cry

The opening verse of the song sets the tone, revealing that the girl had gone away on a Monday, and now the singer is trying to find a way to get in touch with her. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Calling calling" and highlights his attempts to reach her through various means, including calling her phone number, which goes unanswered. He hopes that she will hear his calls, and the repetition of the phrase "Hope you hear me calling" in the bridge underscores this sentiment. The singer is desperate to have his beloved back and pleads with her to turn on her line to hear him out.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who misses his lover and would do anything to get her back.
