Collect by Matthew Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, used to be the one star running the pack
Then your whole clique took a knife to your back
Then your girls they got the dirt on you
What you do to make 'em turn on you?
Got nobody in your corner cutting you slack
When every bridge burned it's about to collapse
So you fake like it's good for you
I hear they're talking jail time for you
[Chorus]
But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me, I'll be there
We got a kind of connection and you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me, I'll be there
[Verse 2]
High life like a road till you ran out of luck
It's like your gone from Obama to Trump
Things are looking pretty down for you
The city's raining down on you
Before you even got a chance to prepare for the flood
You never saw the sign and, "poof," there it was
Everybody talking down on you
They want to go another round on you
[Chorus]
But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me, I'll be there
We got a kind of connection and you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me, I'll be there
[Bridge]
'Cause I got you, every single moment I got you
Yeah, I stay devoted, I got you
And I don't give a shit who knows that I got you
Baby, I got you
[Verse 3]
I see them talking shit on social media
Can't afford that one way ticket on Expedia
Damn it, trying to buy you at a piece
They screaming, "Run, baby, run!"
But you can't hide the feeling, nah
It's written on your face now
I can see it even when you lay your face down
I figure we can just replace them with good booze and good sounds, drown it out
[Chorus]
But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me, I'll be there
We got a kind of connection and you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me, I'll be there
[Outro]
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
Baby, used to be the one star running the pack
Then your whole clique took a knife to your back
Then your girls they got the dirt on you
What you do to make 'em turn on you?
Got nobody in your corner cutting you slack
When every bridge burned it's about to collapse
So you fake like it's good for you
I hear they're talking jail time for you
[Chorus]
But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me, I'll be there
We got a kind of connection and you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me, I'll be there
[Verse 2]
High life like a road till you ran out of luck
It's like your gone from Obama to Trump
Things are looking pretty down for you
The city's raining down on you
Before you even got a chance to prepare for the flood
You never saw the sign and, "poof," there it was
Everybody talking down on you
They want to go another round on you

But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me, I'll be there
We got a kind of connection and you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me, I'll be there
[Bridge]
'Cause I got you, every single moment I got you

[Outro]
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
