Lyrics

And now I'm stuck. I'm locked in a phone booth
Stuck between a lie and the truth
Head stuck in this noose
I'm wishin you would pick up so we could talk about it
But I'm just standin here trying to walk around it
Keep makin calls with my back on the wall and now I'm
I'm sure that I might just fall again
I remember we were friends, friends til the end and now I'm back at square one time to begin again
What do I do, what do I say I begin to pray
And I know that you can hear me love thru the rain
Ima try one more time I hope that you can hear me thru the wind and thru my rhyme

Chorus

Fourteen times I called your number...Fourteen times it told the same....Could you stretch your mind to remember, or would you even remember my name?


This is my shake up, wish we could make up
My heart is beatin and I never wanna wake up
Wish we could go back, wish you could know that
This pain is killin me inside this is a known fact
This time I'm pressing on
Never wanna look back on the things you done
Just wanna leave this mess alone
Lip to the bottle my cheap cologne
Really makin sure this stress is gone
My chrome 45 til my mind is blown
Baby don't leave me alone
Pick up the telephone
What do I do....

Chorus

Fourteen times I called your number...Fourteen times it told the same....Could you stretch your mind to remember, or would you even remember my name?


I don't Wanna go back to the way things used to be
I don't wanna go back, let your eyes look straight thru me
Don't you feel my heartbeat
Can't you see these memories
Don't you need me
I'll call fourteen more times
Fourteen more times if need be

The answers that I seek to my questions they're still unanswered
Discouragement is raiding my brain like it was cancer
No sleep to be attained
While my dreams are filled with pain
I'm weary all up in my body
Confusions up in my brain
What do I do.....

Chorus

Fourteen times I called your number...Fourteen times it told the same....Could you stretch your mind to remember, or would you even remember my name?

As my dime had fallen under such a small, small price to pay...
