lyrics

CELL PHONE copyright Ben Ballinger 2014

Oh Mama I wish I was a cell phone
To be held and caressed
Given so much attention
I'd be in heaven to be held in your hands

Look at me I'm jumping in my seat
Look at me I'm licking the T.V.
Look at me I'm turning 13
I stole your car and now I'm speeding
Look at me I'm on live T.V.
Answer the phone it's the police

I'd be the last thing that you see
When you finally go to sleep
I could even cause your heart to ring
Every time I made a peep to ring
And the days I die how they would stop your life
And if you ever lost me you just might break down and cry

Oh Mama, I wish I was a cell phone
To be held and caressed,
Given so much attention,
I'd be in heaven to be held in your hand
I'd be in heaven to be held in Your hand
You hold heaven in your hand
Heaven is in your hands.... And I could be there.
