Hello hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing
I have got no service in the club you see-see
What-what-wha-a-at did you say, huh?
You're you breaking up on me
Sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy
Just a second it's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh?
You should've made some plans with me
You knew that I was free
And now you won't stop calling me
I'm kinda busy

Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop telephonin' me
I'm busy
Stop telephonin' me

Can call if you want, but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Call if you want, but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone

[Beyonce]
Boy, the way you're blowin' up my phone
Won't make me leave no faster
Put my coat on faster
Leave my girls no faster
I should've left my phone at home
'cause this is a disaster
Calling like a collector
Sorry I cannot answer

Not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party
And I am sick and tired of my phone ri-ri-n-ging
Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'cause I'll be dancing
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls
'cause I'll be dancing

Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna talk anymore
I got my head and my heart on the dance floor
Stop telephonin' me
I'm busy
Stop telephonin' me

Can call if you want but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
Can call if you want but there's no-one home
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
My telephone
My-my-my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone
My telephone
My-my-my telephone
'cause I'm out in the club and I'm sippin' that bubb
And you're not gonna reach my telephone

We're sorry
We're sorry
The number you have reached
Is not in service at this time
Please check the number, or try your call again

    General Comment:I think another possible meaning to this song is her time with Def Jam. They had the opportunity to work with her but wouldnt allow her the artistic freedom she desired and so she left and got signed with another record label. Or just Hollywood in general. She hates Hollywood.
    Definitely about a guy who stood her up and now he suddenly wants to hang out and shes like you had your chance boy. (really though i hate guys like that)

    This one may be a little out there... but it could also be about trying to be recruited by the illuminati.
    I have got no service in the club- the club being a metaphor for the church, She was raised catholic, and does not see eye to eye with the illuminati's agenda. She uses their symbols (one eye, baphomet, a-ok, MK ultra references etc.) to get their acceptance or possibly their attention, yet her songs send out the message of love and acceptance. I interpret the use of illuminati symbols as her saying "image and symbols mean nothing. i can use your symbols and still send a positive message" and also telling the illuminati she isnt associating with them. Or she could just be deceiving us all, if so she does a damn good job.

    General Comment:I totally LOVE this song! Lady Gaga is currently my favourite singer and I think this song comes only second to Alejandro. The music video's amazing too.

    General Comment:I think she's just got a breakup call from her boyfriend or girlfriend while she was at the club, and she's trying to ignore him and go on with her night.

    General Comment:I usually HATE Pop music...but Lady Gaga has just completely fucked my standards of Pop. She's just awesome. And she's honestly my type. Not like sexually, I just mean she's so WEIRD that I can't help but love her and her music...just a very good artist.
