Hotline Bling: The Woman

Inspiration tapped me on the shoulder while I heard "Hotline Bling" by Drake on the way to work one morning. She asked, wouldn't it be cool if you did a female version that was from the woman's side? You should write that. Tweak and change some of the lyrics that will keep the song intact, but the perspective will be totally different from the woman's view. And so I obeyed. I did just that. This is what I produced.

Hotline Bling: The Woman

I used to call you on your

I used to, I used to…

I used to call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

Call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

And you know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

You know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

Ever since you left the city,

I got a reputation for myself now

And I’ve wanted you to find out

A matter of time, you'd know somehow

‘Cause ever since you left the city,

I started wearing less and goin’ out more

Tryin’ to numb the heart that you left torn

With glasses of champagne out on the dance floor

I used to call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

Call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

And you know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

You know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

Ever since you left the city, I, I, I

I’m just trying to go along

Like I’m fine and there’s nothing wrong

Going places, wanting to belong

Ever since you left the city,

I, I, I’ve been wanting something more

Running out of pages in my passport

Trying to find love I’ve never felt before

I used to call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

Call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

And you know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

You know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

These days, all you do is

Wonder if I’m runnin’ my hands down the back of someone else

Wonder if I’m rollin’ over to kiss the lips of someone else

Doing things you showed me, gettin’ sexy for someone else

I don’t need no one else

I don’t need nobody else, no

Why do I feel alone?

Why do I always have to go?

Used to always stay at home, be a good girl

I was in a zone, yeah,

I should just be by myself

Right now, I’m with someone else

I used to call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

Call you on your cell phone

Late night when I need your love

And you know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

You know when that hotline bling

That can only mean one thing

Ever since you left me
