[Intro]
Well, well, well, well
Well, well, well, well
Oh yeah
Gave you, yeah
Oh, listen, listen, baby, baby

[Verse 1]
I gave you my cellie two nights ago
I was waiting on you to let me know
If we could get down, slow freak tightness
I must confess you smell better than the rest
Yes you do, yes you do
I wanna get close to you, mostly too
I wanna be your happiness
Your soft caress
Girl, I'm ready, call me

[Chorus]
Get back and let me get that
Telephone lookin' at me
So get back and let me get that
I ain't up to bein' lonely
Get back and let me get that
It's you I want, I want you only
So get back and let me get that
Come on baby, wait for me

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, where are you, baby
This loneliness is doin' me so crazy
I've been pacin' the floor
Right now I don't know
If you're uptight, slow it down
And grab the phone to call me
Yeah, you know
Let's do what we're supposed to do, baby
Two creative people makin' love
Call me when you're ready to come to school

[Chorus]
Get back and let me get that
Telephone lookin' at me
So get back and let me get that
I ain't up to bein' lonely
Get back and let me get that
It's you I want, I want you only
So get back and let me get that
Come on baby, wait for me

[Bridge]
Ooh get back, get back
Come on, let me get a piece of you honey
Come on, come on, let me get a piece of your lovin'
Here's my number
Call me tonight
Talk to me baby, oh yeah
Call me when you need somebody

[Chorus]
Get back and let me get that
Telephone lookin' at me
So get back and let me get that
I ain't up to bein' lonely
Get back and let me get that
It's you I want, I want you only
So get back and let me get that
Come on baby, wait for me

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
