Stop Calling Me
Shakaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop callin me, callin me
Please stop stalking me, stalking me
Just a fantasy, fantasy
That you have with me
(Verse 1)
Well I'm dressed
Ready for a night with the girls
Just for my curls
Not out for hooks
Just for a look
She lied as she tried to introduce me
To her friend
I shook his hand and said
'' I gotta man ''
From the look that he gave
A woman that he craves
I'm just trying to behave
Chorus x2
At home, a knock on the door
Then the phone, pick it up some
Breathing then a tone
Check the door
But whoever was there is gone
Who knows who left the letter with the rose
Regret it
Don't forget I got a man at home
My point, ya!
Gotta leave me the hell alone
Chorus x 2
(Bridge)
Don't call me on my phone
And tell me how did you find my home
Your causing trouble for me and my man
Understand
I'll never be your woman
Chorus x 4

Before I knew what aboriginals were. Now I work for an aboriginal organisation. I wish schools did more with educating about the First Nation peoples back in my time.
