Erykah Badu - Cel U Lar Device lyrics

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing

Ever since I left the city you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Boy, you got me down, and got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started gettin' dressed and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some dudes I've
Never seen before

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night


You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
(Two one four, witness)

Some people just said let it go
And on and on and such and such
But they don't ride around with us
No, no, no
Ain't that too bad we love to hang
And for a while, it stays the same
But now you tryna change the game no, no, no

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing

Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love
Late night when you need my love

You've reached the Erykah Badu hotline
If you're calling for Erykah, press 1
If you're calling to wish
Her a happy birthday
Kwanzaa, MLK, Black History Month
Juneteenth, or Hanukkah, press 2
If you're calling because you just
Saw her on BET, MTV, or any other social
Media outlet, and you're checking to make
Sure you're still in good standing, press 3
If you're calling to beg for
Some shit in general, press 4
If you're calling to beg for some shit, but
This is that pre-call before
The actual begging, press 5
If you've already made that pre-call and this
Is the actual call to beg, press 6
If you're calling to ask for some free
Tickets in a city near you
And know she don't really fuck with
You like that? Press 7
If you're calling to book Erykah
To flip the first burger at your
Company BBQ, or to DJ at
Your little cousins slip-and-slide party
Press 8 if you're calling to say peace
And don't really fit into
Any of those descriptions text me
Because I don't really answer voicemail

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing

Ever since I left the city you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Boy, you got me down, and got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started gettin' dressed and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some dudes I've
Never seen before

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing

Them people just said let it go
And on and on and such and such
But they don't ride around with us
Oh, no, no
Ain't that too bad we love to hang
And for a while, it stays the same
But now you tryna change the game oh, no, no

You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
You used to call me on
My cellular device at night
And I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That could only mean one thing
