Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uhhhh....
We need to talk about something real quick...
I heard you’ve been coming around my house and....
My friends have told me
My parents have told me...
We’ve been over for a long time now
You need to stop coming around...
Tell me your alone
Tried hard to entice
Throwing’ in all that spice
Walking fast in pace
Heading to your place
Caller 99, you are so fine
You had me played
And you never stayed
Skin on hot skin
Took me for a spin
This isn’t love
Just rise above
Caller 99, you are so fine
I’ve got a reason for wanting your touch
Cause you had the thing I wanted so much
Now you call me saying you want some more
But I’ve moved on now
And I locked the door
I got a reason for craving your touch
Cause you had the thing I wanted so much
Now you call me saying you want some more
But I’ve moved on now
And I locked the door
Listen... I know you are still into me right now...
But coming around my house with a knife? A knife???
You’re insane!
You need to get out of my life now!
It’s over!!
