So many calls that they've missed,
let the phone ring,
I'm black, listen.

They never help me, they never assist,
when I truly need it, what a twist.

So many calls that they've known,
it hurts so bad,
it gives me a hot sore,
they left me there,
so uncalled for, the last time I saw them,
they said they needed more.

I don't know why,
I still love you,
I don't know why,
I still can't be you,
I don't know why,
I'm still kind to you,
I don't know why,
I still can't be you.

I don't know why,
I still love you, what you said hurt me through and through,
I should have listened to what they said,
I would have cut you off if I knew,
I don't know why,
I'm still kind to you,
what you said hurt me through and through,
I should have listened to what they said,
but somehow I can't no matter what you do.

So many calls that they've missed,
let the phone ring,
I'm black, listen.

They never help me, they never assist,
when I truly need it, what a twist.

So many calls that they've missed,
let the phone ring,

They never help me, they never assist,
when I truly need it, what a twist.
