Call Me Up
Natalie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi, this is Natalie
Leave a message after the beep
And I'll give you a call back
Remember if you don't leave a message
I don't know who called
Thanks

Aye, yo, Natalie what's up, girl
I ain't heard or seen you in a while
Just like to see what's up with you
Get with me man
Holla

Message will be saved for fourteen days

I got your message today
I was happy to hear your voice
Automatically saved
When it comes to you, I had no choice
I must act like I don't wanna call you back
I stayed up last night, waiting for the phone to flash
What would it be like if I don't call so fast
Let a few hours past, see if my patience could last

Every time you call me up I'm playing hard to get
I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me

Now it ain't my style to have you guess how I feel about you
I'm always thinking about you, I'm always talking about you
Don't wanna let you know I have the words
I end up all jittery
And all the words I can't control what you do to me
All it takes is one little thing
I hear a ring, I see your name

Every time you call me up I'm playing hard to get
I really wanna pick up, I keep hitting end
I don't know what to say, you got me speechless
Leave a message saved
Maybe at a better time, when I can get online
And tell you what's on my mind
And then we can conversate, maybe we can conversate

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me

Here's how I'm gonna tell you
I'm gonna call you up tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Be up-tight and honest with you
If I'ma do it tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
No more holding back or acting shy
I'm gonna call you up tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Let you know you're the one I like
If I'ma do it tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me

Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby
When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
Baby, I know you might think I'm just playin'
You don't see the smile I get, baby




When the phone rings, you call me
I really wish you would come and hold me
