Telephone
Lady Gaga · The Fame Monster (Deluxe Version) [2009]
Hello, hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service
In the club, you see, see
Wha-Wha-What did you say?
Oh, you're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I'm kinda busy
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
Just a second
It's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh
You should've made some plans with me
You knew that I was free
And now you wont stop calling me
I'm kinda busy
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(Stop telephonin' me) I'm busy
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(I'm busy) Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(Stop telephonin' me)
Can call all you want but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Can call all you want but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
[Beyoncé]
Boy, the way you blowin' up my phone
Won't make me leave no faster
Put (Put) my coat on faster
Leave (Leave) my girls no faster
I should've left my phone at home
'Cuz this is a disaster
Callin' like a collector
Sorry, I cannot answer
[Lady Gaga]
Not that I don't like you
I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringing
[Beyoncé]
Sometimes I feel like
I live in Grand Central Station
But tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'Cuz I'll be dancin' (dance)
(Tonight I'm dancing)
Cause I'll be dancin' (dance)
(Tonight I'm dancing)
'Cuz I'll be dancin'
(Tonight I'm dancing)
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'Cuz I'll be dancin'
[Lady Gaga]
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop callin', stop callin'
I don't wanna talk anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(Stop telephonin' me) Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(I'm busy) I'm busy
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(Stop telephonin' me) Stop telephonin' me
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
(I'm busy)
Can call all you want but there's no one home
'Cuz I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Can call all you want but there's no one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
(D-D-D-Darkchild)
My telephone
M-m-my telephone
'Cuz I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
My telephone
M-m-my telephone
'Cuz I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bub
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
We're sorry, We're sorry
The number you have reached
Is not in service at this time
Please check the number, or try your call again
