CALL ME INSTEAD Lyrics

[Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
Don't let it go to your head
Things that they said
They made their bed (They made it)
Give you reasons you should call me instead
Tears wouldn't shed
I know you're scared

[Verse 1: The Kid LAROI]
Um
How's everyone know what's best for you
When I'm right here next to you?
Said that you get it, but you never do
Said that he loved you, it was never true
So now you're torn between
Lettin' it in and gettin' revenge
Be in the housе or bein' with your friends
Closin' your heart and keepin' it opеn
No, these decisions don't get easy
I told you I would not disappear on you
I'm prayin' for a lifetime miracle, 'cause
The taste of love in your mouth got sour, sour, sour, uh
Don't trip, I'll be there within an hour
The past yours, but the future is ours

[Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
Don't let it go to your head
Things that they said
They made their bed (They made it)
Give you reasons you should call me instead
Tears wouldn't shed
I know you're scared
[Verse 2: YoungBoy Never Broke Again]
T-R-U-T-H, the truth, I love you
After all we been through, look at how we done grew
I want that Rolls-Royce and you want it too
I have nothing for to say to your crew, hold up
I seen you pass out because of that spam
Don't come back 'til you spend one M, yes, ma'am
Ooh, they want your shoes and I choose you
Ooh, I act a fool, out the roof with it, Top
I buy you a brand new car, pull up on your block
All them hoes gon' jump in and they salt us down
I make Lil Dump flash out if I don't want 'em 'round
That's your bitch, not my friend, tell her calm down
She gon' tell you to leave
Then double back all on her own, bitch, please
I got your symbol and heart on my sleeve
Don't listen to anything that that bitch speak

[Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
Don't let it go to your head
Things that they said
They made their bed (They made it)
Give you reasons you should call me instead
Tears wouldn't shed
I know you're scared
[Outro]
We're both hanging on with one hand
'Cause everything happened so fast
I look at her and I see pure fear in her eyes
And I know she most definitely saw pure fear in my eyes too
And that's the first time I felt like I was gonna die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
