Should I Call? (A Jackson Ferguson Thing Remix)

[Intro] [Rhodes piano chords, syncopated electric bass enters] [tight drum kit enters with sixteenth-note hi-hats] [Verse 1] [smooth male vocals] Sittin' here Listenin' to Stevie Wonder's Inner Visions While the rain hits my windowsill Thinkin' about you Thinkin' about you We've been apart for a while But your memory's never out of style Especially tonight Not tonight, babe I don't want to overstep my bounds But I'm wonderin' now What you're up to Can we spend some time? [Chorus] [layered vocal harmonies enter] I was debatin' (you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone I was debatin' (you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone [Verse 2] Sure, why not? What harm could it possibly do? Haven't these past three weeks been enough time? You had to know I couldn't stop thinkin' about you Thinkin' about how to get into your mind How we like doin' all the things on your mind Tonight I don't think I want to find my fame in Not again tonight I don't want to overstep my bounds But I'm wonderin' now What you're up to Can we spend some time? [Chorus] [falsetto ad-libs] I was debatin' (you know, you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone I was debatin' (you know, you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone [Bridge] Hello, my love I just had to call Yeah, I played an entire scenario in my head But my feelin's for you took over instead Or if you've been feelin' the same (spoken word) What's holdin' us back? [Chorus] I've been wastin' time debatin' (you know, you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone I've wasted so much time debatin' (you know, you know, you know) Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone [Outro] [vocal runs in falsetto] I was debatin' Sittin' by the phone waitin' Askin' myself should I call? 'Cause I don't want to be alone I was debatin' [music fades out] Lyrics by William Terence Jackson Lyrics written, Music composed, and Vocals arranged by Clarence Ferguson, Jr. Copyright 2026
