对着你的答录机说话，呐呐

感觉你不想知道，呐呐

我打电话给你，你都不接，呐呐

你不爱我，你应该告诉我，呐呐

Yeah, Banx & Ranx

我有种感觉

我过度思考，想你是不是想离开

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

说真的，我需要坦诚

说真的，你最好说出来

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

日日夜夜，我躺在电话旁

你什么时候告诉我？

你什么时候告诉我？

我听到的只是，“嘟声后请留言”

你什么时候告诉我？

对着你的答录机说话，呐呐

感觉你不想知道，呐呐

我打电话给你，你都不接，呐呐

你不爱我，你应该告诉我，呐呐

告诉我，呐呐

倒下了

说没什么，但现在我们一无所有

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

现在我发现你有个问题

你不想谈论的问题

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

日日夜夜，我躺在电话旁

你什么时候告诉我？

你什么时候告诉我？

我听到的只是，“嘟声后请留言”

你什么时候告诉我？

对着你的答录机说话，呐呐

感觉你不想知道，呐呐

我打电话给你，你都不接，呐呐

你不爱我，你应该告诉我，呐呐

告诉我，呐呐

不停来电让我胡思乱想

昨晚在俱乐部看到你，让我喝多了

让我为你倾倒，你知道我快崩溃了

告诉我你的爱有多深

别救我，让我说

日日夜夜，我躺在电话旁

你什么时候告诉我？

你什么时候告诉我？

我听到的只是，“嘟声后请留言”

你什么时候告诉我？

对着你的答录机说话，呐呐

感觉你不想知道，呐呐

我打电话给你，你都不接，呐呐

你不爱我，你应该告诉我，呐呐

告诉我，呐呐

日日夜夜，我躺在电话旁

你什么时候告诉我？

你什么时候告诉我？

我听到的只是，“嘟声后请留言”

你什么时候告诉我？

对着你的答录机说话，呐呐

I've been talking to your answerphone, na na

Something tell me you don't want to know, na na

When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na

You don't love me, you should let me know, na na

Yeah, Banx & Ranx

I got a feeling

I'm over thinking 'bout thinking you're thinking of leaving

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

But real talk, I need some honesty

Honestly, you better speak up

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Days and nights, I lie beside my phone

When you gonna let me know?

When you gonna let me know?

All I hear is, "please leave your message after the tone"

When you gonna let me know?

Man down

Said it was nothing but nothing is all that we have now

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

And now I found out that you got a problem

A problem you don't wanna talk about

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Days and nights, I lie beside my phone

When you gonna let me know?

You don't love me, you should let me know, na na

Let me know, na na

Ringing up my line and that leads me to overthink

See you in the club last night, lead me to overdrink

Let me fall for you, you know I'm on the brink

Let me know how deep your love goes

Don't save me, let me say

Days and nights, I lie beside my phone

When you gonna let me know?

When you gonna let me know?

All I hear is, "Please leave your message after the tone"

When you gonna let me know?

I've been talking to your answerphone, na na

Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
