I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
Verse 1:
I’m sorry I missed you/ I’ll make up an excuse/ hopefully you’ll believe me, dear/
I was just drinking/ and doing some nothing/ and you want to complain in my ear/
You have got nothing else to do/ and I know how to get rid of you/ at least temporarily//
Chorus:
I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
Verse 2:
You can agree/ that you and me/ don’t really see eye to eye/
I need my space, you see/ so I don’t go crazy/ and you just don’t see that as wise/
But I just want so more time/ and you think everything is fine/ How are you that blind? //
Chorus:
I broke my cell phone again/ you keep on calling but I’m not answering/ I’m waiting for someone to change/ and it’s not me//
