[English]

I just called

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Now I'm gettin' really brave, I had a few shots

I would say it to your face but I just can't no more

'Cause you've moved so far away, just like a few blocks

Pick your friends and perfect girl

Leave a ring on your door

You can see me comin', comin', comin' from a mile away

I got somethin', somethin', somethin' that I'm dyin' to say

Yeah, I'm doin' pretty great, just thought you should know

Yeah, not thanks to you though

I just called (yeah)

To say (yeah)

I hate you (huh)

I just called (yeah)

To say that I moved on (yeah)

I just called (yeah)

To say (yeah)

This the last you'll be hearin' from me

'Cause now your mailbox's full

I can't call you no more (Big Latto, no-no, no-no, no-no, oh yeah)

Played the Latto and lost it (Latto)

Got options like my closet (I do)

But I'm off it, I don't double back

Might wear it once, then I'm done with it (yeah)

I'm the full package, thick and tatted

All your baggage better have Delta tag

How you bear the baddest, treat me like a savage?

I could do you nasty but I'm movin' past this (oh)

These pretty thighs, pretty brown eyes

Don't belong to you no more (no more)

I just called to tell you that I'm cool without you

And I'm doin' fine on my own (yeah)

By the time you'll get this voicemail

You'll be blocked, so don't bother (nah)

One thing about me

I'ma drop 'em quicker than bad service, next caller, boy

I'm cool, still got a second or two

Might get cut off like the last one

Just in case it didn't go through, ooh-ooh, ooh

I just called (yeah)

To say (yeah, to say)

I hate you (I really hate you)

I just called (yeah)

To say that I moved on (I really moved on, yeah)

I just called (yeah, I just called)

To say (yeah, to say)

This the last you'll be hearin' from me (oh, yeah)

'Cause now your mailbox's full

I can't call you no more (hmm, yeah, no-no, no-no, no-no)

Mm, yeah, 'cause your mailbox's full, I can't call you

So I couldn't if I wanted to

Yeah, your mailbox's full

I can't call you no more (I really do hate you)

Mm-mm, haha
