Call Someone Else
Time to Move On: Call Someone Else Tonight
Lyrics
Call Someone Else tonight
Expressing the desire for the listener to call someone else tonight
Cause I got some things to do
Stating the speaker's need to attend to personal matters
I've got a show to watch, baby
Indicating a specific activity (watching a show) the speaker wants to engage in
And then I wanna paint my nails blue
Expressing a personal preference to paint nails blue as part of the speaker's plans
I know it's an inconvenience
Acknowledging the inconvenience of the request but suggesting the listener will cope
But I think that you'll just live
Implying that the listener will manage without the speaker's presence
I'm on my own time now
Declaring the speaker's independence and control over their time
With no more left to give
Conveying that the speaker has no more to give, perhaps emotionally or in terms of commitment
Cause when you had me
Reflecting on the past when the listener had the speaker but didn't value or treat them well
You didn't want me
Emphasizing the listener's lack of interest or mistreatment when they had the speaker
You didn't treat me right
Highlighting the listener's failure to treat the speaker appropriately
But now that I'm gone
Asserting the speaker's departure from the relationship
You can't stay stay away
Noting the listener's inability to stay away after the speaker's departure
You want all up in my life
Describing the listener's desire to be involved in the speaker's life after separation
You need to call someone else tonight
Reiterating the suggestion for the listener to call someone else
Call Someone else, alright?
Reemphasizing the advice for the listener to seek company elsewhere
You maxed out your time with me
Stating that the listener has exhausted their time or chances with the speaker
Oh, I'm not the one, baby
Rejecting the idea that the speaker is the right person for the listener
And I'm not who I used to be
Acknowledging personal growth or change in the speaker
Waste your time if you wanna
Indicating that the listener can waste their time if they choose, but the speaker won't respond
I will not be answering
Declining to answer the listener's attempts to contact
My life ain't your business now
Asserting that the speaker's life is no longer the listener's concern
Did ya miss that
Posing a rhetorical question about whether the listener missed the speaker's autonomy
While you weren't listening?
Suggesting the listener wasn't attentive to the speaker's autonomy during the relationship
Cause when you had me
Repeating the theme of the listener's lack of interest or mistreatment when they had the speaker
You didn't want me
Reiterating the listener's failure to value or treat the speaker well in the past
You didn't treat me right
Emphasizing the listener's mistreatment of the speaker
But now that I'm gone
Highlighting the speaker's departure from the relationship once again
You can't stay stay away
Observing the listener's inability to stay away after the speaker's departure
You want all up in my life
Describing the listener's continued desire to be involved in the speaker's life post-breakup
You need to call someone else tonight
Reiterating the advice for the listener to seek companionship elsewhere
Cause when you had me You didn't want me
Reemphasizing the theme of the listener's lack of interest or mistreatment when they had the speaker
You didn't treat me right
Reiterating the listener's failure to treat the speaker appropriately
But now that I'm gone
Highlighting the speaker's departure from the relationship once again
You can't stay stay away
Noting the listener's inability to stay away after the speaker's departure
You want all up in my life
Describing the listener's ongoing desire to be involved in the speaker's life after separation
You need to call someone else tonight
Reiterating the suggestion for the listener to call someone else
