sorry... wrong number

it was about 2
A.M.
when i got my first call
from you
Got Damn
wadda' ya' do?
"sorry... wrong number"
and that was all
disturbing my slumber

in less than a minute
came call #2
that just barely would do
"is that you?"
"sorry... wrong number"
disturbing my slumber

then a 3
(again A.M.)
once again
"sorry...wrong number"
disturbing my slumber
and me bein' me
i said "Got Damn"
and so it began

every hour on the hour
finally
me bein' me
i had to show some power
show who i be
if only for my sanity
and my slumber
how the h**l did you get my number?

i spoke calmly
but with authority
me bein' me
i lied
" i be the police
this is a secured line
if you want to keep callin'
fine...
there won't be no release
i've got caller ID
so see
i know who you are
and where you be
stop messin' with me
and just how far
i will go
to let you know
just who i be...
see
stop messin' with me!"

"it's you who'll be fallin'
if you keep callin
my number
disturbing my slumber"

"don't call me again
or you will begin
sumpin' where you'll not like the end"

no more calls today
not yet anyway

"sorry...wrong number"
disturbing my slumber

i wonder
do they know who i be
'cause me bein' me
i'll see
they'll find out
what it's all about

"sorry... wrong number"
disturbing my slumber

i do have caller ID
and i do see
who you are
you can't run far
from me
for i be who i be
and Bein' who i am
...
well "sorry... wrong number"
won't do!
