You used to, you used to
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city you, you, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me, we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don't belong
Ever since I left the city, you
You got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages in your passport
Hanging with some girls I've never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you're bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you're rolling up a Backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else
You don't need no one else
You don't need nobody else, no
Why you never alone
Why you always touching road
Used to always stay at home, be a good girl
You was in the zone, yeah
You should just be yourself
Right now, you're someone else
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city...
The lyrics of Joan Thiele’s “Hotline Bling” speaks about a past love that still calls late at night for love. The singer of the song used to love and be in a relationship with this person, but ever since they left the city, the love of their life began to change. They have become more popular and have a reputation for themselves, and the singer feels left out. The love seemed to have moved on and found new friends and new ways of having fun, and the singer feels betrayed. The “Hotline Bling” could only mean one thing; the love is still longing for that past love.
The singer wonders, “These days, all I do is wonder if you're bendin' over backwards for someone else, wonder if you're rolling up a Backwoods for someone else, doing things I taught you, getting nasty for someone else.” This person doesn’t seem interested in him anymore, and the singer can’t understand why. He questions why they never seem to be alone and always on the go. The person they used to know and love is now seemingly gone, and they want them to come back.
Overall, the song speaks of a love that has changed since the singer left. They feel left out of the love's new life and still long for the love that they used to share.
