[Chorus: Ke'Varis Brooks]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Verse 1: DeQuarius Slaton]
When I dialed 6-1-1, Repair Service
She said "Hello, may I help you please?"
I told her something must be wrong with my phone
'Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me
[Chorus: Ke'Varis Brooks]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Verse 2: Nikko Arnold]
She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later, I got the operator
Saying "Please hang up and place your call again," baby
[Chorus: Ke'Varis Brooks]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
Something's wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
But, I get a click every time
[Bridge: DeQuarius Slaton + Ke'Varis Brooks + (Ace Edition)]
Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
He keeps telling me my baby, ain't home (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line (Oh, oh)
Situation blowing my mind (Oh, oh)
Oh, I just can't take this anymore
[Spoken Interlude: Jada Brooks]
Please operator
See what you can do
I dialed the right number
But I still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone
Wouldn't be answered by no man
[Chorus: Ke'Varis Brooks]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
Something's wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
But, I get a click every time
[Outro: Ke'Varis Brooks]
Must be a bad connection
I give her my love and affection
I just can't take this no more
[Nikko Arnold (Ace Edition)]
This situation blowing my mind (Blowing my mind)
Can't get my baby on the line (On the line)
[DeQuarius Slaton (Ace Edition)]
I tried dialing information (Mr. Telephone Man)
I can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone Man)
The system on the phone telling me my baby ain't at home
Ah baby, I just can't take it anymore
Help me out, please Mr. Telephone Man
Help me out, please Mr. Telephone Man
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
