[Verse 1]

You got me on the third call

I wasn’t going to answer at all

But I guessed it was you

So it didn’t ring true, hmmmmm

You know, I was curious and kinda nervous, too

It was quiet at first then you said a few words

Something I heard in the breath of your voice

And then I had no choice


[Verse 2]

Girl, right away I knew

As I soaked up the essence of you

Should have been impossible

But there it was a full and total surrender

I lost my mind again

How easily you muddy my brain

You know what they say, it’s never the same

The last time was nothing but pleasure and pain

Remind myself of one little thing

I’m gonna melt, you’re so damned hot

Baby, you don’t know what you got


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

So… you got me on the third call

We know it’s purely physical

There’s no time for subtle

It’s all sweat and muscle

We’ll be together forever and oh well

Then we go our own ways

Not so much as a parting wave

Our love is on hold until the next call

Forget the first two because just like you

I don’t have much to talk about

All we do is scream and shout

All we do is scream and shout
