[Intro: Andrea Onamade]

Want that type of love that you see on '90s TV

The type of love that makes you want to believe

That type that makes you want to pick up and see

What would happen if I dialled 33

Running up my phone bill, running my emotions

Trynna get a boo who will, really, really notice

Sounds cliche, but I gotta focus


[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)


[Verse 1: Sowdy]

Running up my phone bill, you say I don't call you

Every day I wake up, think bout we gon' do

Every day I hold you, every day I know you

What would happen if I disappeared

And I got emotions, masculines ain't open

Say I am your man, but you dodging all the focus

Blossomed like a lotus, grew together coping

With all of the damn stress, now we eloping

And I know your ex, he be leading you and treating you wrong

That's why we here together, and I wrote you this song

To clear the fact from the fiction, when the friction gets gone

We blend together smoother than our voice on this song

I'ma be your best friend, years we be texting

It don't really bother that you never saw my message

Running up phone bill, now we face to facing

Hit you every day still, trynna catch a blessing, a lesson


[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)


[Verse 2: Sowdy]

Running up my phone bill, there's no data left

Feel like this the 90's, we don't even talk through text

Feel like I'm a part of you, division isn't real

Feel like I can start with you and build a hundred mil

You blow me lots of kisses, tell me all your wishes

Feel like this is child's play, but I'm not on the fences

Is you gonna grow up? Is you gonna love me?

Is you gonna show me? Is you gonna uhhh me?

And I must say, this is harder than the movies make it

I could show you how you special, this ain't ordinary

I could show you a baddie, is you Halle Berry

I got cheddar to get, and me and you gon' cut it

Who the man think he is, that looking at you

Why he stand still, dead straight, like a statue

You don't even bat an eye, you don't look back, true

Eyes on me, and you, we lock, that's factual (Ahhh)


[Bridge: Andrea Onamade]

Want that type of love that you see on '90s TV

The type of love that makes you want to believe

That type that makes you want to pick up and see

What would happen if I dialled 33

Running up my phone bill, running my emotions

Trynna get a boo who will, really, really notice

Sounds cliche, but I gotta focus


[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill

I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)


[Outro: Andrea Onamade & Sowdy]

I be running up my phone bill (Mmhmm)

I be running up my phone bill (Mmhmm)

I be running up my phone bill (Up my phone bill)

I be running up my phone bill, yeah (Up my, up my, up my phone bill)
