[Intro]
You used to, you used to
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
[Chorus]
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 1]
Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows that I feel left out
Boy, you got me down, you got me stressed out
[Verse 2]
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing nice and going out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hanging out with some girls I've never seen before
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
[Chorus]
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 3]
Ever since I left the city
You, you, you...
You and me, we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don't belong
[Verse 4]
Ever since I left the city, you...
Got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages in your passport
Hanging out with some girls I've never seen before
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone...
Late night when you need my love
[Chorus]
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Bridge]
These days all I do is
Wonder if you're bending over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you rollin' up a Backwoods for someone else
Doin' things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else
You don't need no one else
You don't need nobody else
[Breakdown]
No...
Why you never alone?
Why you always touching road?
Used to always stay at home
Be a good boy
He was in the zone
Eh...
You should just be yourself
Right now you're just someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone...
Late night when you need my love!
[Outro]
That can only mean one thing
Yeah, yeah
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
You used to, you used to
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
[Chorus]
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 1]
Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows that I feel left out
Boy, you got me down, you got me stressed out
[Verse 2]
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing nice and going out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hanging out with some girls I've never seen before
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cellphone
Late night when you need my love
[Chorus]
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
[Verse 3]
Ever since I left the city
You, you, you...
You and me, we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
