Being the Southern gentleman that they are, Big Boi and Dre promise to:

Give their mistresses a phone call before they show up for sex

And give a warning before they get theirs during sex

Off of Stankonia.[Intro: André 3000]

Nigga, quit being so got damn selfish

Put it in ya pelvis

Let it work, gyrate, motivate

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop over, out the blue

I hope that you do too

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop up over, out the blue

No, after you

[Verse 1: André 3000]

Oh, thank you, Lord, for throwing some shy

Bones in my body, let me tell you why

If not so, I'd be too, too bad

When it comes to pink polka dots and plaids

Glad to meet you, my name is 'Dré

But you can call me Possum Aloysuis Jenkins André 3000 for short

And naaw, I don't want to see your thongs...

I kinda dig them old school cute regular draws

And I will pause for your cause...

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop over, out the blue

I hope that you do too

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop up over, out the blue

No, after you

[Verse 2: Big Boi]

I'm a gentleman, I'ma satisfy your soul

And then I'ma get mine

Like Wimbledon, we back and forth across the court

Until we give out, do you take it all or spit it out?

Are you faking the funk and living a lie?

Do you really know what it feels like

To have no control over the G spot?

It's like a brand new pair of Reeboks, or a junkie freshly detoxed

You feel the tingling all over, like convulsions or the rooster pox

I used to not give a damn

But now I make it a point just to please you

So you can go back and tell all your lil' buddies, I Pretty D'd you

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop over, out the blue

I hope that you do too

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop up over, out the blue

No, after you

[Verse 3: Gangsta Boo]

Let's see, what you wanna do with the Gangsta Boo?

Let's cut, nigga, nigga, what? I'll cut you too

Coming through in a Escalade limo, tint with shade

Purple haze in the ashtray, ready to get a blaze

What the biz? Nigga jump on in, relax with a lady

With a reputation, known for sexing niggas 'til they crazy

What you mean, dog? Telling a playa like Boo to call before I come

You a game, I'm fucking on you for fun

Join the bandwagon, nigga, it's a Gangsta Boo party

Everybody wanna join come and freak with somebody

Riding Jaguars, riding Prowlers, all sports cars

Hitting strip bars with the top down, fuck y'all

Groupie, you need to be glad you even knew me

Do me and tell all my friends you truly blew me, bitch!

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop over, out the blue

I hope that you do too

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop up over, out the blue

No, after you

[Verse 4: Eco]

Nigga, you better dial 404-485–, well, bump all that

But, shit, you'd better call before you get here, and that's a fact

Before you get your feelings hurt

Because you caught me playing nurse

With a stethoscope, running around in one of those cute, short white skirts

I tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't respond to Aloysius

Peeped in the window, saw me cooking shrimp

In high heels and washing dishes for Daddy Fat Sax

And it was something I couldn't explain

I know it's a dirty, dirty game

But you should've called before you came, uh-ye-yeah-uh

[Chorus: André 3000]

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop over, out the blue

I hope that you do too

I'll call before I come

I won't just pop up over, out the blue

No, after you
