GET OFF UR PHONE
Michelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sticky sticky finger wheel no dial tone
How I'm supposed to know if you're even home?
Don't share your location keep it to yourself
Filing those feelings right up on the shelf
Puffing on the skippy J
I can't really feel my legs
How high have we been this long
Did that line come out okay?
And I'm far from space

I don't need your hotspot, 'cause I got the sun
I'ma go outside now, boy, I gotta run
Window down, hair in the wind
Free falling now, it's no sin
I don't want your Instagram
Just want you to hold my hand
Tryna get connected? I don't need no Wi-Fi
Getting overwhelmed now, I'ma put this shit on standby
So please

Get off your phone now
Get off your phone, babe
Get off your phone now
Get off your phone, babe
Get in the zone now
Get in the zone, babe
Get off your phone now
Get off your phone, babe
(Hello hello hello?)
(Hello hello hello?)

Do me a favor, come off your cloud
Evaporate, precipitate, drip off my mind
Give me some time, connect the line
'Cause I can read between your colored lines
Connecting naturally like summer vines
Intertwine, intertwine
Oh, I can read your mind (so easy, so easy)

Minty minty fresh, come and get with me (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Turn off your phone, you tryna get with me?
Tryna be low and I'm riding down the I-5 (ooh-ooh)
I-5, I don't got no password to your Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi, why, why)
Ask my myself why speak into the skies, skies (why, why, why, why)
Sticky mango (uh-uh)
I ain't no samo, it's the same old (hmm)

Get off your phone now
Get off your phone, babe
(Don't call me, don't call me, don't call me, don't call, me)
Get off your phone now
Get off your phone, babe
(Don't call me, don't call me, don't call me, don't call, me)
Get in the zone now
Get in the zone, babe
(Don't read me, don't read me, don't read me, can't read me)
Get off your phone now




Get off your phone, babe
(Don't read me, don't read me, don't read me, can't read me)
