Cell Phone - Victor Wooten

Well I just got paid it’s Friday Night.

Feeling real good weekend in sight

Got a new phone, a new belt clip attached to my hip even got the chip

Now everyone can get touch with me.

I got 700 minutes and weekends free

They even threw in an extra battery so I can keep in touch with my family

Now everybody’s is all in my mix.

I had to go and learn all the cell phone

tricks

When someone tries to talk to me I just act like I’m talking on the phone you

see

My signals weak, my battery’s dead.

It must be true.

That’s what I said

But if I ever get stranded I’m never alone

What would I do without my cell phone?

You gave me your number and I said I’d call.

You said wuz cool, no the type to bawl

You said you only used it for important calls but you didn’t pick up and I know

you saw

My name, my number pop up on your screen, but you didn’t pick up, yo,

what that mean?

It don’t mean nuthin'.

It ain’t like that.

Girl, you know I was gonna call you

back

Aw man, stop playin', I heart what your sayin' and I ain’t trying to heat that

jive

I bet you got girls calling from around the world.

Boy, and you know that’s faul

Hello!

Can you hear me now?

Don’t play me like that.

What would I do without my cell phone?
