[INTRO — PHONE FILTER] Hello? Why you laughing? Hold on Am I on speaker? Girl... [BEAT IN] [VERSE 1] I can hear your friends in the background Trying not to make a sound Somebody just said my name Then you told 'em all to calm down Yeah, okay Real smooth You ain't slick I know what you do Called me up just to see What I'm gonna say With the whole damn room listening too So how was your day? You eat yet? Yeah, I'm keeping it safe You peep that? 'Cause I know there's three or four people Right beside you Reading your face [PRE-CHORUS] You want me to say it I know But I ain't giving them the show If you really wanna know What I'm thinking right now Baby, take me off— [CHORUS] Speakerphone Take me off speakerphone I got things for you That ain't for everybody else to know Speakerphone Girl, get me alone You can keep me on the line Just get somewhere on your own I hear 'em laughing Let 'em laugh They can guess But they don't know If you want the real answer Take me off speakerphone [POST-CHORUS] Off Off Take me off Yeah Off Off Then we can talk [VERSE 2 — MELODIC RAP] Your best friend asking "Is that him?" Tell her maybe I ain't confirming shit Other one yelling "Ask where he's been" Damn Is this a call Or an interview again? You say, "Ignore them" I'm trying But somebody in that room Got perfect timing Every time I get close To saying something I hear another little laugh And change the subject So nah I don't miss you [BACKGROUND LAUGHTER] Okay, maybe a little Nah I wasn't thinking 'bout you [PAUSE] Okay, that's bullshit too But that's all you're getting With an audience Go shut that door If you want the rest [CHORUS] Speakerphone Take me off speakerphone I got things for you That ain't for everybody else to know Speakerphone Girl, get me alone You can keep me on the line Just get somewhere on your own I hear 'em laughing Let 'em laugh They can guess But they don't know If you want the real answer Take me off speakerphone [BEAT STRIPS DOWN] [PHONE FILTER] Wait Okay I'm in my room now You're off speaker [PHONE FILTER DISAPPEARS] Good [BRIDGE — SMOOTH NATURAL VOCAL] Now I can say I missed your voice today Almost called you twice But I stopped myself both times And yeah I've been thinking about you More than I probably should That's what you wanted me to say? [soft laugh] Knew it [HARMONIES ENTER] But don't go running back And telling your friends Some things sound better When they stay between us [FINAL CHORUS] No speakerphone Now I got you alone Whole different conversation When nobody else knows No speakerphone Stay right where you are Funny how your voice gets softer When it's only me you're talking to Let 'em wonder Let 'em ask You don't gotta tell 'em shit What I say when we're alone Stays between me and you [POST-CHORUS — MELODIC LAYERS] No speakerphone Just me and you No speakerphone That's more like it [OUTRO — PHONE FILTER RETURNS] So... Your friends still outside? Yeah? Lock the door [soft laugh] I'm kidding Mostly
