Call Me Lyrics

This ain't the hottie
That I thought I knew
This ain't the party
That I thought we'd do

You got your limit, baby
I got mine
6-11, 3-3-6-9
You got to tell me baby
We ain't the lovers
That will tare me down
We ain't the fortune
All over town
You got your limit, baby, I got mine
6-11, 3-3-6-9
You got to Call Me baby
I need you to pick up that telephone
And dial those numbers hottie

I need you to call me
I need to hear your sweet voice
Let me, let me, let me, let me hear you again
I need, I need, I need, I need, I need you baby
I need, I need, I need, I need, I need you baby
Got to pick up, got to pick up that telephone
Please, please oh baby

You got your limit, baby
I got mine
6-11, 3-3-6-9
Please oh please baby
Pick up that telephone
I need you to pick it up baby
I need you to pick it up now baby

Call Me Song Chart

St. Paul and The Broken Bones is a seven-piece soul band formed in Birmingham, Alabama in 2012. This is their debut single.

Dave Letterman booked St. Paul and the Broken Bones to perform the tune on the January 12, 2015 episode of The Late Show. He enthused about the band before they even played a note. "I'll tell you something, the first time I heard this song," said the talk show host, "I was screaming, 'til I cried. That's what I want: can you do that for me tonight? It won't be your fault, but if I don't get that, I'm gonna stop the show, and do it over!"

Letterman asked frontman Paul Janeway why he put a phone number in the lyrics of the song; Janeway replied that it was in tribute to Wilson Pickett's soul classic "634-5789," "But unfortunately, in Birmingham it leads to some sort of hotline."
