You called, I can't hear a thing.
I have got no service
in the club, you see, see
Wha-Wha-What did you say?
Oh, you're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you,
I'm kinda busy.
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy.
Just a second,
it's my favorite song they're gonna play
And I cannot text you with
a drink in my hand, eh
You shoulda made some plans with me,
you knew that I was free.
And now you won't stop calling me;
I'm kinda busy.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna think anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna talk anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Can call all you want,
but there's no one home,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Call when you want,
but there's no one home,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
[Beyonce]Boy, the way you blowin' up my phone
won't make me leave no faster.
Put my coat on faster,
leave my girls no faster.
I shoulda left my phone at home,
'cause this is a disaster!
Callin' like a collector –
sorry, I cannot answer!
Not that I don't like you,
I'm just at a party.
And I am sick and tired
of my phone r-ringing.
Sometimes I feel like
I live in Grand Central Station.
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls,
'cause I'll be dancin'.
'Cause I'll be dancin'
'Cause I'll be dancin'
Tonight I'm not takin' no calls, 'cause I'll be dancin'!
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna think anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna talk anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna think anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna talk anymore!
I left my hand and my heart on the dance floor.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Can call all you want,
but there's no one home,
you're not gonna reach my telephone!
'Cause I'm out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Call when you want,
but there's no one home,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
'Cause I'm out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
My telephone!
M-m-my telephone!
'Cause I'm out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
My telephone!
M-m-my telephone!
'Cause I'm out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bub,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
We're sorry the number you have reached is not in service at this time.

Explication des paroles
La chanson « Telephone » de Lady Gaga, en collaboration avec Beyoncé, parle de la volonté de Gaga de se libérer des contraintes liées à la célébrité et de profiter de sa liberté. Les paroles font référence à l’idée de ne pas répondre au téléphone pour rester concentré sur soi-même et sur le moment présent.
La chanson a été écrite par Lady Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin et Beyoncé, et produite par Darkchild. Sortie en 2010, « Telephone » a été un succès commercial et a reçu des critiques positives pour son style unique et son énergie contagieuse.
L’un des points forts de la chanson est son clip vidéo, réalisé par Jonas Åkerlund, dans lequel Lady Gaga et Beyoncé se lancent dans une aventure déjantée et colorée, mêlant humour, extravagance et esthétique avant-gardiste. Le clip a été salué pour ses références cinématographiques et son exploration de thèmes tels que la liberté, la célébrité et l’individualité.
« Telephone » est devenu un hymne de la pop culture et a contribué à renforcer la réputation de Lady Gaga en tant qu’artiste visionnaire et provocatrice. Son mélange de pop, de dance et d’électro, associé à des paroles percutantes et à une production audacieuse, en fait l’une des chansons les plus emblématiques de sa carrière.
