Don't Call Me Up
Mabel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm tryna have a good time
'Cause I'm good now you ain't mine
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
When you're looking at my photos
Getting hot, losing control
You want me more now I let go
Now, now, now, now
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you
Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
But I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up
'Cause I'm here looking fine, babe
And I got eyes looking my way
And everybody's on my vibe, babe
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
My friends said you were a bad man
I should have listened to them back then
And now you're tryna hit me up again
Now, now, now, now
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you
Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
But I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up
Don't call me up
So don't call me up
Don't call me up
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you
Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
But I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up

When I'm underneath the bright lights
When I'm out having fun and enjoying myself
When I'm tryna have a good time
When I'm trying to have a good time without you bothering me
'Cause I'm good now you ain't mine
Because I'm better off without you in my life
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
Now that I'm moving on, don't try to contact me
When you're looking at my photos
When you're stalking me online
Getting hot, losing control
Getting too obsessed with me
You want me more now I let go
Now that I've moved on, you want me more
I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
I'm done with your lies and don't need them anymore
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
The truth is I'm stronger without you in my life, boy
And I know it's sad that I changed, have a cold heart
I know it's unfortunate that I've become more guarded and unemotional
But it was your game that left scars
It's because of your manipulative behavior that I have scars
Ooh, I'm over you
I'm finally over you and moving on
Don't call me up
Don't contact me anymore
I'm going out tonight
I'm going out to have a good time
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Feeling good now that you're no longer in my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Don't want to talk about our past relationship
Gotta leave it behind
I need to move on and leave the past behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
After one drink, I forget about you
Baby, I'm on a high
I'm feeling great and having a good time
You're alone, going out of your mind
You're alone and going crazy without me
But I'm here up in the club
But I'm here having fun in the club
And I don't wanna talk
And I don't want to talk to you
So don't call me up
So don't try to contact me
And everybody's on my vibe, babe
And everyone is feeling my energy
My friends said you were a bad man
My friends warned me that you were a bad guy
I should have listened to them back then
I should have taken their advice seriously
And now you're tryna hit me up again
And now you're trying to contact me again
