[Verse 2: Missy Elliot]
Why you cheating on me? Can you tell me what I've done?
I thought you was the one, but you just a hit and run
Gave up clubs and parties,✦ I put them aside✦ (I stopped goin' to all the parties)✦
Left me in the dark with no kind of sign
(Why don't you give me a sign?)
[Chorus: 702 & Timbaland]
Beep me, 9-1-1, or call me on my cell phone (Beep me, call me)
I'll call you back
To see what you gon' tell me (Even✦ though you don't want to)
You don't wanna✦ date
No ifs, ands, or waits
It's over✦ babe
(No thinking twice) (Say what, say what)
Beep me, 9-1-1, or call me on my cell phone
I'll call you back
To see what you gon' tell me (Call ya right back, yeah)
You don't wanna✦ date
No ifs, ands, or waits
It's over✦ babe
[Bridge: 702 & Timbaland]
All my friends say I can do better✦ than you (Say what, say what)
Maybe they was right 'cause I feel like a fool (Fool, fool)
But I can't let you go until you take some time (Say what, say what)
To tell me why you left me without✦ a goddamn sign (Say what, say what)
[Chorus: 702 & Timbaland]
Beep me, 9-1-1, or call me on my cell phone (Beep me, or—)
I'll call you back
To see what you gon' tell me (Or at least give me a call)
You don't wanna✦ date
No ifs, ands, or waits
It's over✦ babe (Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh)✦
Beep me, 9-1-1, or call me on my cell phone
I'll call you back
To see what you gon' tell me (See, I still want you to call me)
You don't wanna✦ date (No, no)
No ifs, ands, or waits (No waits, no waits)
It's over✦ babe (It's over)✦
(Magoo,✦ Magoo)✦
[Verse 3: Magoo & Timbaland]
Type of nigga✦ made built to last
Look homegirl, I pump like gas when
Get your friend and your girl and them (What?)
My sex drive workout✦ like a gym, Kim (What?)
Was the girl that I used to hit
You the girl that I gotta✦ quit
See the kitty✦ Kit
Gotta✦ gold it like a light
In the night, you the freak come out
We don't bite
No diggity, who took you out?
No doubt when I first got down
Made the bro shout
Look out, make it live
Dip and dive, staying alive✦
Shoot me sugar, there it is
Now we talking square biz
I'm leaving you without✦ arrears
But I still love the kids
What you think? I'm henpecked✦
Girl, get your mind checked✦
Take the time, recollect
I just gave you disrespect
[Outro: Timbaland]
Ah, like that
Like that
Beep me 9-1-1, baby✦
Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh✦
Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh✦
Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh✦
Uh-huh,✦ uh-huh✦
Say what, say what
Misdemeanor, 702
What y'all gon' do?
Fellas?✦
Don't beep them 9-1-1
Don't beep them 9-1-1
Don't beep them 9-1-1
