Lemme tell you the story Bout the call that changed my destiny Me and my boys went out Just to end up in misery Was about to go home when There she was standing infront of me And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby Want to go?" I should've said no Someone's waiting for me But I got my coat, called and said Listen baby, I'm sorry Just want to tell you don't worry I will be late Don't stay up and wait for me I said again, your dropping out My battery is low Just so you know We're going to a place nearby Gotta go Now two is done, nothing's been won I can't take it back, what's done is done But what if my friends found out That she wasn't my only one And it eats me from inside That she's not by my side Just because I made that call, yeah Lemme tell you the story Bout the call that changed my destiny Me and my boys went out Just to end up in misery Was about to go home when There she was standing in front of me And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby" Gotta go
