Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Honey, it rang and rang
  • Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
  • I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'll die for you

Echo the hook

  • Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
  • I don't like it when they threw me in the car
  • I gave your name as my emergency phone call
  • Honey, it rang and rang
i'lldrunkcall
