Nicole Renee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, telephone, won't you ring?
I want somebody to talk dirty to me
Oh, telephone, won't you ring?
I wanna pick up the phone
'Cause I'm home alone
And I feel like I'm ready to get it on
Telephone
What would you do to me,
I can imagine you
Won't you let me know the next time you play?
You look like you would be so good
Can I play with you someday?
[Chorus]
Let's act as if the phone is my body
Let's act like my body is a phone
Start by holding me with your hands
Love me all over with your tongue
[Chorus]
This is how I want someone to love me
If you can please let my telephone ring
'Cause I've never been in love before
Only in my dreams
[Chorus]
In this song titled "Telephone" by Nicole Renee, the singer expresses her desire to receive a call from someone who could talk dirty to her as she's feeling lonely at home. She sings the chorus, "Oh, telephone, won't you ring? I want somebody to talk dirty to me, Oh, telephone, won't you ring? I wanna pick up the phone 'cause I'm home alone, And I feel like I'm ready to get it on." These lines make it clear that she craves intimacy and wants to engage in something more than just a phone conversation. She yearns for someone to keep her company and be with her in those moments of loneliness.
In the second verse, Nicole mentions that she would like the person listening to the song to imagine her in her present state and tells them what she's wearing. She sings, "I wish you could see what I have on right now, What would you do to me, I can imagine you, Won't you let me know the next time you play? You look like you would be so good, Can I play with you someday?" Here, the artist is adding more depth to her intimacy desires and stating her willingness to try new things with her partner. The song is much more than just a plea for sexual intimacy; it's a call to action for fulfilling one's primal needs and finding pleasure in someone else's company.
