Lyrics

Pepa, Pepa, it's me, are you there? Call me! Hi, it's me... again, Candela, where are you? Just, call me when you get this, ok? Ok Pepa, Pepa! Pepa, it's me again, why aren't you picking up the phone? It's like my brain is gonna melt if I don't talk to you I've got a problem in the shower, and I only got a minute 'Cause the problem in the shower Is this guy that I've been dating named Malik He's, what's the word? Swarthy, like a desert sheik And he's been here in my apartment for about a week I met him down at café Sombra, and I know you think I'm overly romantic But you wouldn't believe the connection we had, like immediately I was ready for him to meet my mom Like I could feel my heart exploding like some kind of bomb Which is ironic because actually I think he literally has some kind of Anyway grandpa, happy birthday Say hello to grandma and be sure to thank That was him! I may be jumping to conclusions, God I hope I am He thinks I'm thin, and he's got shoulders like Jean-Claude Van Dame Listen, call me when you hear this, I'll be here for half an hour Call me back! Pepa! Are you there? Are you there? Are you...? Okay you're not there but we need to talk My stomach's aching like I swallowed some enormous rock I'm at the phone booth on the corner, and I've only got a minute 'Cause I'm running out of change 'Cause I've been lending all my money to Malik God knows with men, I'm not exactly on a lucky streak But this one really is a mess, I think I'm gonna freak I know you say I'm an alarmist But I'm not remember, there's that time I thought I saw a spider But you said, "Nah, it's a Raisin" But it suddenly started moving, and it crawled over and bit me on the toe So if you're gonna stand and judge me, that's how much you know It's a good thing I didn't eat it, but I never would've eaten it 'Cause I never did like raisins, so why would there be a Raisin on the floor? So when you hear this, call me back, I'll wait a little more I'll be at 773, damn they scratched out the number, and misspelled vagina All right, I'm hanging up, I'll call you back! Pepa! Ok I'm trying you again, it's afternoon! It's like my eyes are gonna pop if I don't get you soon I'm at the studio, which sucks because I'm having trouble working 'Cause the only thing I think about's this crazy situation with Malik I don't know what I'm gonna do if you and I don't speak I know you think I'm just a drama queen, but actually I'm practical And damn it I'm a model So of course I feel things deeper that most people typically do And anyway I think my life might be in danger too You won't believe what he's got hidden in the Fernando's working here he's lost a lot of weight though And he got that thing removed he just looks Pepa, Marcos, he says hello And now he's telling me were shooting so I got to go It's some big deal, ad campaign, I don't know what it's for They've got me posing with a melon and a matador, some kind of metaphor Call me back! Pepa, it's 8:00, I don't know why you're treating me like this Pepa, it's almost 10 o'clock you really are a terrible friend Pepa I'm sorry I've never felt to frightened and alone I'm like a helpless little kitten up a - Hey! I'm on the fucking phone! Please call me back Pepa it's midnight, are you screening? It's 3 a.m. You have to call me I'd never do this to you what kind of a friend -? What was the name of that cheese that I like? Pepa, Pepa sweetheart. Listen, I need to tell you Tape is full, end of messages Pepa! Ok now even your machine's ignoring me Listen, Pepa, I know you think I'm needy but you've gotta see I'm feeling kinda woozy, I've been crying for an hour And my boyfriend has an oozy and he doesn't clean the shower And I don't know where you are, I don't know where I am I'm halfway up a tree and completely in a jam I'm out here in a desert and nobody gives a damn Pepa, Pepa, Pepa Call me back!
