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

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

You can call all 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 [x2]


[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

It's 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

[CHORUS]
Stop calling, stop calling
I don't wanna think anymore
I left 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 left 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

You 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

    My Interpretation

    EVERYONE HERE IS WRONG. Have you ever seen the Madonna concert for her recent tour "Sticky & Sweet"? There's a song called "Get Stupid", it's more of an interlude really, when there are images and sounds about raising awareness of the stupidity and naivety of how we are spending our lives and consuming our resources. Lady GaGa draws inspiration from Madonna, obviously, and this is where it ties in: "Telephone" is pretty much about the same thing. It is about the subliminal cooperative ignorance of the world and how we are taking up everything and anything and making excuses for not acknowledging the damage we are causing. FOR EXAMPLE: "Stop calling, stop calling, I don't want to think anymore" shows how ignorant and selfish the world is being and Lady GaGa is showing that we are being rude and ignoring the signs that we are being given. You're all stupid if you can't see this. I'm one of GaGa's Little Monsters by the way, which is how I know this because I listen to her interviews and study the lyrics and hear the way she tries to talk to us through her songs. If you have a problem with the accuracy of my interpretation, you can tweet me: @jacksonkids xoxo
