I tried to stay up 'cause you're on your way up
For the weekend, said you wanna see me again
Said you'd be over, still ain't seen your Rover
Looking out my window it's a quarter to ten
It's about that time, I really can't stay hotKnow you wanna kick it and I was with it
But I won't be tripping if you don't show
Or hear you knocking
They got vacancy at the Howard Johnson
You knowDon't try to call me 'cause the ringer's off
Don't try to page me, my two-way is lost
I had a Jones for ya but it seems you lost
I tried to wait for ya but I'm nodding offI watched Forest Gump and put something on my stomach
I called my cousin, listened to her gossiping mouth
Touched up my makeup, anything to wake up
Trying to take up some time while I'm waiting it outWhat's the hold up, thought you would've rolled up
In the driveway before the day gave
Why should I wait, I'm sleepy as hell
And there's no way I can abort this mission
So listenDon't try to call me 'cause the ringer's off
Don't try to page me, my two-way is lost
I had a Jones for ya but it seems you lost
I tried to wait for ya but I'm nodding offNo hard feelings
Really, I'm already under the cover
Please don't be mad at me
You gotta believe I still love yaDon't try to call me 'cause the ringer's off
Don't try to page me, my two-way is lost
I had a Jones for ya but it seems you lost
I tried to wait for ya but I'm nodding off
