Lyrics
Someone calling me
Feeling a sense of being summoned or called by someone.
But when I pick up the phone
Answering the call, but finding no one on the other end.
There ain't nobody there
No actual person on the phone; only a distant echo is heard.
Just a distant echo
The distant echo conveys a message that love won't be found.
Saying love won't find you here
Receiving a message that love is not present in the current situation.
Then I hang up the phone saying
Disconnecting from the call and expressing a realization about love.
Are you watching me
Suspecting someone is observing or monitoring the speaker.
Standing in the distance
The observer is standing at a distance from the speaker.
Make your move on me
Encouraging the observer to make a romantic move.
cause we ain't go no
Expressing a sense of urgency, as time is limited.
Time to waste baby
Acknowledging the scarcity of time and emphasizing not to waste it.
My body's here for the taking
Offering the speaker's body for a romantic encounter.
(What do you want from me) My body's shaking
Questioning the desires or intentions of the observer, causing physical reactions.
The way you say my name (Oh you want my body)
Describing the impact of hearing one's name and the desire for the speaker's body.
Hold me close
Expressing a desire for physical closeness.
Then you throw me off the edge
Experiencing a sudden and unexpected separation or betrayal.
(You're playing tricks on me) I hear you knocking
Hearing a knocking sound, possibly symbolic of challenges or uncertainties.
But it don't feel the same
The knocking doesn't evoke the same feelings as before.
I say I loved you
Professing love, but realizing it's not reciprocated.
But you don't feel the same
Confirmation that the love is not mutual.
(My body's here for the taking)
Reiteration of the speaker's readiness for a romantic encounter.
