Annoy(Ring)

(ring ring)

(voicemail beep)

You dial, I smile,

I let it go to voicemail

You text “pick up” I go “I’m busy,

dear, no detail” You call again,

I watch the screen light glow I take a sip,

I stretch, I go “I’ll call you back,

bro”

You say “it’s urgent” I say

“Is it life or death?” You say “No” I say “Then it

can wait, take a breath”

You got that same old ring Pacing through my day

I let it buzz awhile Then I drift away

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying Ring-ring-ring,

you keep call, ringing Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, I’m not answering

(ring

ring!) Now you at the front door,

tapping like it’s a crime

I’m behind the curtain,

letting you waste your time You got five missed calls and a

paragraph too

I read the whole thing,

then I do not move for you You say “please just hear

me” through the cracked-up frame I know that voice,

and I still do not play that game

You got that same old ring

Pacing through my day

I let it buzz awhile Then I drift away

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, you keep call,

ringing Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, I’m not answering

Maybe I’ll answer when the sky turns pale

Maybe I’ll care when the whole thing fails Right now your tone

is a one-way track

Send it to voicemail,

I ain’t calling back Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, you keep call,

ringing

Ring-ring-ring-boy so annoying

Ring-ring-ring, I’m not answering

(voicemail

beep!)
