[Verse 1] You came knockin’ on my door past midnight With trouble in your eyes and a story half right Said you needed me, said don’t ask why But I seen that look, girl—you were tellin’ lies [Pre-Chorus] I been down that road, I know that game You call my number when you need a name [Chorus] Hold that line—don’t cross it again I ain’t your fool, I ain’t your friend Hold that line—don’t step too near You only call when the coast ain’t clear [Verse 2] You got high heels, but you walk on me Sweet talk sugar with a bitter tea You say “baby please” but I know that tune You’ll be gone again by tomorrow noon [Chorus] Hold that line—don’t cross it again I ain’t your fool, I ain’t your friend Hold that line—don’t step too near You only call when the coast ain’t clear [Bridge – horns punch + vocal shouts] (Say it!) Hold it! (Don’t move!) Stay back! You had your chance—I ain’t takin’ you back! [Final Chorus] Hold that line—this time I’m through No more late-night runnin’ to you Hold that line—hear me say You better turn around and walk away
