Lyrics

Calling

[Intro: Rocio Mendoza]

Tengo tanto que decirte

Pero como empesar

Yo deveras si te quise

Pero ya no puedo mas

Ya no puedo mas

Ya ayy ya no puedo mas

Ya ayy ya no puedo mas

[Chorus: Rocio Mendoza]

Yes, I'm calling for you baby

Oh, please pick up the phone

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]

I've called you so many times

And you don't bother to pick up the line

And how's a man suppose to get along

When his better half won't come back home?

My love for you will never go away

That's why I need you here today

I keep tryin' to call, but you won't answer the phone

You don't want me no more, whoa, oh

[Chorus: Rocio Mendoza + Raphael Saadiq]

Yes, I'm calling for you baby

Oh, I'm calling, calling, calling

Please pick up the phone

Could you please pick the phone for me baby?

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]

Oh, oh I, my love can you please come home?

There were many things that went wrong

But if we tried, oh, how hard could it be

When there's still love for you and love for me?

See, my love for you will never go away

That's why I need you here today

I keep tryin' to call, but you don't answer the phone

'Cause you don't want me no more, oh

I need you, baby

[Interlude: Rocio Mendoza]

Tengo tanto que decirte

Pero, pero donde empezar

Ya de veras si te quise

Por favor te pido

Que ya no puedo mas mi amo

[Chorus: Rocio Mendoza + Raphael Saadiq]

Yes, I'm calling for you baby

There ain't nothing I won't do if you pick up the phone

Please pick up the phone

Can you please answer the phone for me, baby?

Yes, I'm calling for you baby

I need you baby, please

Please pick up the phone

I love you baby, I love you darling

I love you baby
