  • You think that we connect
    That the chemistry's correct
    Your words walk right through my ears
    Presuming I like what I hear

    And now I'm stuck in the
    The web you're spinning
    You've got me for your prey

    Sorry I'm not home right now
    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    So leave a message
    And I'll call you back
    A likely story, but leave a message
    And I'll call you back

    You're intruding on what's mine
    And you're taking up my time
    Don't have the courage inside me
    To tell you please let me be

    Communication, a telephonic invasion
    I'm planning my escape

    Sorry I'm not home right now
    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    So leave a message
    And I'll call you back
    A likely story, but leave a message
    And I'll call you back

    And it's all your fault
    I screen my phone calls
    No matter who calls
    I gotta screem my phone calls

    Now it's gone to deep (now, it's gone too deep)
    You wake me in my sleep (wake me in my sleep)
    My dreams become nightmares (dreams become nightmares)
    'Cause you're ringing in my ears

    Sorry I'm not home right now
    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    So leave a message
    And I'll call you back
    A likely story (yeah), but leave a message
    And I'll call you back

    And It's all your fault
    I screen my phone calls
    No matter-matter-matter-matter who calls
    I gotta screem my phone calls

    Ooh spider webs
    Leave a message and I'll call you back
    I'm walking in a spider webs
    So leave a message and I'll call you back

    And It's all your fault
    I screen my phone calls
    No matter matter matter who calls
    I gotta screem my phone calls

    It's all your fault
    It's all your fault
    No matter who calls
    No matter who calls

    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    So leave a message
    And I'll call you back

    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    Leave a message
    And I'll call you back

    (It's all your fault) I'm walking into spiderwebs
    Leave a message and I'll call you back (no matter who calls)

    (I gotta screen my phone calls) I'm walking into spiderwebs
    Leave a message and I'll call you back (it's all your fault)

    (No matter-matter-matter who calls) I'm walking into spiderwebs
    Leave a message and I'll call you back (I screen my phonecalls)

    I'm walking into spiderwebs
    Leave a message and I'll call you back Writer/s: Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal
