Call Me
Stacy Lattisaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call me
Call me

Been going out to borrow for some time
Now that we met, I can't get you off my mind
I caught your eye, boy
I'm glad you caught mine, too
Maybe it's the right night of starting something new
It only took one dance
And I'm hooked on you
Your arms just tell me you feel the same way, too
I'm giving you my number
(Private number)
Hoping you'll remember

Call me
Won't you use my number
Call me
Don't you lose my number
Oh, yeah, yeah

Never imagined it would happened this way
Is it love at first sight or just a game we play?
Could it be that someday our hearts would be as one
Or it's just a love game or playing just for fun
Come on and take this chance
'Cause I'm hooked on you
You got to tell me that you feel the same way, too
So I'm giving you my number
(Private number)
Hoping you'll remember

Call me
Won't you use my number
Oh baby
Call me
Don't you lose my number
Do it, baby
Call me
Won't you use my number
Call me on the phone
Call me
Dial my private number

Lights are on
It's time to go home
I hope that you'll remember me
We'll continue this all night long
If you just call me, yeah

You know I'm waiting on you
Sitting by the phone
Hey, look, I called and called
But you're still weren't home
Ooh, I'm waiting for you
To pick up your phone
I'll dial your number all night long
Pick up your phone

Call me
Won't you use my number
I wanna know, oh yeah
Call me
Don't you lose my number
Do it, baby
Call me
Won't you use my number
Ooh, hey yeah
(Call me) Yeah, yeah
(Dial my private number) Yeah, yeah
Oh, tell me, baby
Do you really love me?
Do you really want me?
'Cause I love you, baby
Oh (Call me) oh oh
Tell me, baby
(Call me) you're gonna call me
You're gonna love me
You're gonna want me, baby, oh

Call me
Won't you use my number
I wanna know, oh yeah
Call me
Don't you lose my number
Do it, baby
Call me
Won't you use my number




Ooh, hey yeah
(Call me) Yeah, yeah

This song reminds me a little bit of "Serious" by Donna Allen, especially the very beginning.

Niguelas Brazemus

atmybest4 I think you are spot on. The drum track was probably lifted as it sounds identical.

@GrazeeGroover Oh, ok. Thanks for the info! Yeah producers (for the most part) always have a signature sound.
