Woke up early so I could get to pay day
I was kinda hopin' you'd be my baby
But I won't pick up the phone
When you wanted me alone
Cause I get the feeling like I shouldn't

If I dedicate to you
You're gonna be untrue
Can you honestly say that you wouldn't?

And I'm tryna be sincere
Not tryna be an actress
I don't wanna rear the tops out of your mattress
Used to live in fear of everything you practice
But now I got my chance
Would you stab me in my back?

Now I got my chance
Would you stab me in my back?
[2x]

I was young and stupid
When we use to fool around
Fool around, fool around
Yeah I was drunk by cupid
You really stood out of the crowd
Stood out of the crowd

But baaaay, I'm not your baby
No I'm not, no I'm not
And I never will be

Cause I won't pick up the phone
When you wanted me alone
No I won't
[x3]

Cause I won't pick up the phone
When you wanted me alone
Cause I get the feeling like I shouldn't

And you could give me money
Give me diamonds and all
I'm feeling alright just where I'm at
I love to watch you crawl

Woke up early so I could get to pay day

Pay day...

Kali Uchis

Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), better known as her stage name Kali Uchis, is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, and fashion designer.

Sporting a 50’s aesthetic (from which Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are cited influences), Kali’s brand of art pop spans the length of many genres of soul (doo-wop, reggae, funk, quiet storm, psychedelia) with a Latina twist.

Kali grew up playing saxophone and piano; she was introduced to music production and video editing while she was in high school and released her debut project Drunken Babble in 2012. Since then, Kali has gone on to release a 2015 EP, Por Vida, and her debut album, Isolation, in 2018.
