D- d- d-j put me that 808 on your drum. (on your drum)
(gotta get my baby back, yeah)
(baby if you're listening, it's from me)

Calling my request for about the hundredth time.
Dj, mr. dj tryna get you on the line.
Girl you heard this word before so I don't mean to keep you.
But I never felt this, that's how I know my girl's a keeper.
Baby I made you so mad, said some things I can't take them back (oh oh oh)
I know I messed up so bad, tell her I'm feeling so sad.
Please could you help me with that? (oh!)

Dj drop me a beat and put that 808 on it.
I'm sending a message to my baby.
Said she's finished with me but she gotta know I'm hurting.
And I think that she listens to this sta-sta-tion.
Gotta get her back on this track so please.
Would you put that 808, put that 808 on it.
Take her back to the days when we was falling in love.

Heard her shoes walk out the door, it was just about 8:08.
She told me she was up and done and I should've made her stay.
I just let her go, grab that remote turn on the steelers.
She jumped ont he a26 to the 95 and now I'll never see her.
Oh no - no I can't take that back, I know I messed up so bad.
So I need just to special this track.

[Plies:]
I know for hurting you baby, god gon' punish me.
I shouldn't of played with your heart cause you were too sweet.
I wasn't ready to settle down, I was too street.
I was a sexaholic, I was too weak.
All of the promises I made you, I couldn't keep.
I was too whorish for you, you deserved better then me.
Get married, raise a family, how it's supposed to be.
But getting money, chasing women got the best of me.

The first time that I saw her, I can't forget those songs.
Thought I could live without her, now she's just all I want.
I miss the way she kissed me, I think about it everyday.
Everytime I turn on the radio and hear that turn away.
