Hotline Bling
Drake feat. William Singe Lyrics

You used to call me on my
During a previous time period, you would contact me using my

You used to, you used to
You previously did this on a regular basis

Yeah
Affirmation of the previous two lines

You used to call me on my cell phone
You would contact me via telephone

Late night when you need my love
Specifically during the late hours when you desired emotional support

Call me on my cell phone
Please utilize my mobile communicating device

Late night when you need my love
Similar to previous line, indicating a pattern of behavior

And I know when that hotline bling
I am aware of the occurrence of a specific type of call on my phone

That can only mean one thing
The phone call can only signify a single possibility

Ever since I left the city, you
Following my departure from the city, you

Got a reputation for yourself now
Acquired a public perception representing your characteristics

Everybody knows and I feel left out
The general populace is informed and I am excluded from that knowledge

Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
You are causing me emotional distress

'Cause ever since I left the city, you
This is a result of my departure from the city

Started wearing less and goin' out more
You began dressing in a more revealing manner and increasing social activities

Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Symbolic for the nightlife culture which you are now actively participating in

Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
Spending time with unfamiliar female friends

You and me, we just don't get along
Our relationship is troubled and problematic

You make me feel like I did you wrong
Your actions create a sense of guilt in me

Going places where you don't belong
Frequenting environments that are socially incompatible with your status

You got exactly what you asked for
You received what you requested of life

Running out of pages in your passport
You are extensively traveling

Hanging with some girls I've never seen before
Repeating a previous line, signifying the continuing behavior

These days, all I do is
Currently, all I can focus on is

Wonder if you're bendin' over backwards for someone else
Questioning if you are exerting excessive effort towards another person

Wonder if you're rollin' up a Backwoods for someone else
Contemplating if you are providing the same services to someone else that I received from you

Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else
Performing acts which were instructed by me, towards another individual

You don't need no one else
You do not require anyone else

You don't need nobody else, no
A double negative, reinforcing the previous statement

Why you never alone?
Questioning as to why the subject is consistently in the presence of others

Why you always touchin' road?
Questioning the subject's motivation for traveling frequently

Used to always stay at home, be a good girl
A contrasting statement, indicating a change in behavior

You was in the zone
Referring to a previous, dedicated state of mind

Yeah, you should just be yourself
An encouragement for the subject to maintain their genuine identity

Right now, you're someone else
The current behavior is not characteristic of the individual
