Uh, lemme in
Request for admission.

Hey, lemme in

Hey, bring it down

Uh
Pause to regroup or refocus.

Callin' from the fun house with my song

We been separated, baby, far too long
Expression of a desire to reconnect with someone or something.

Callin' all you whoop-dee
Addressing a specific group of people.

Pretty things

Little baby girlie, little baby boy

Cover me with lovin' in a bundle o'joy
