  • Oh babe, oh babe
    You've been on my mind
    Just an old flame, old flame
    I left you behind
    But, oh, if it were any other day
    Maybe you'd want me to stay away
    I'm just wonderin' what you would say
    Or would it be a big mistake?

    Can I call you on your birthday?
    Just to make sure that you're okay
    Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost?
    And let you go your own way
    Can I call you on your birthday?
    Just to make sure that you're okay
    Got the number to your old phone
    But is it working?

    Yeah
    I ain't even callin' for no reconciliation
    I just want to tap in and see how you been
    I've waited for an adequate amount of time
    To give us both some space
    I think it's been good for us to stay up out the way
    But it can't hurt to check up on an ex, not to flex
    But to put the hurt to rest, put maturity to test
    So I'm callin' to say, "Are you okay?" on your special day

    Can I call you on your birthday? (Birthday)
    Just to make sure that you're okay (are you okay?)
    Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost?
    And let you go your own way
    Can I call you on your birthday? (Can I call you babe?)
    Just to make sure that you're okay (you're okay)
    Got the number to your old phone (oh yeah)
    But is it working?
    (Working, working, oh)

    If I called you on your birthday? Yeah
    Would it be worth it?
    Should I call you on your birthday?
    Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
    Do you deserve it?

    Can I call you on your birthday?
    Just to make sure that you're okay (you're okay)
    Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost? (Go ghost)
    And let you go your own way
    Can I call you on your birthday?
    Just to make sure that you're okay (make sure that you're okay)
    Got the number to your old phone (oh)
    But is it working?

    But is it working?
    Emotion aside
    Ah
