Tommy was out with his friends Jason, Rocky, and Adam when he had to place a call home.

"Now?" Jason asked. "Bro, you're out with your friends."

Tommy dialed his girlfriend's number as fast as he could so that she'd know he'd be home soon. He knew she'd be pissed if he didn't call every minute.

(spoken)
Hello?
Hi its me what's up baby? Im sorry listen Im gonna be late tonight so don't stay up and wait for me ok?
Where are you?
What?? Say... say that again
Hello?
You're really dropping out; I think my battery must be low.
Listen if you can hear me we're going to this place nearby, all right? Gotta go.

Tommy hurried back to the bar with his friends which Jason had ordered two pitchers of beer to watch the latest football game on television. As Tommy had the time of his life, he explained to his friends that there was a lot going on with him since he got his doctorate. Moments later, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Let me tell you the story
'Bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out
Just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when
There she was standing in-front of me
And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?"

"Again?" Adam looked at him worriedly. "She certainly knows how to keep tabs on you."

Tommy nodded and listened to his friend, and took his phone call outside.

"Doctor Oliver?" Tommy asked.

He went inside and got his jacket. He knew she was more concerned about his friends than he was with her.

"I knew this was too good to be true," Rocky said as he saw his friend grab his jacket. "You're leaving again? What is it this time? Surgery?"

Tommy sighed. He wanted to spend time with his friends before another grueling work week.

"I'll make it up to you guys," Tommy said. "Raiders game at my place next weekend."

The men nodded and Tommy went outside to his BMW. As he got into his car, he dialed her on his cell phone and placed it on speaker.


I should've said no
Someone's waiting for me
Then I called my girl up and said


(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

He drove as fast he could over to her house. The faster he could get home, the more he could've explained everything to her.

Now what's is done, nothing's been won
I can't take it back, what's done is done
But one of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside
That she's not by my side
Just because I made that call, yeah

As he entered into the driveway, his palms began to sweat. He knew he was in for it, but he took a brief sigh, and got out of the car. He raced up the stairs as fast as he could teleport, and opened the door.

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

He searched high and low for her, but she was nowhere in sight. He ran through the kitchen, then to the patio, and finally, upstairs.

Ooohh...

Lemme tell you the story
Bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out
Just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when
There she was standing infront of me
And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby"
Gotta go...

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

Tommy was already out of breath when he heard his cell phone vibrate again.

He thumbed it to answer.

"Hello?" He answered.

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

"Hey Tommy," Jason said. "Don't worry about your girl. She's over here with us watching the game."

"UGH!" Tommy said as he plopped himself up on the couch.

"Can you come back down to the sports bar in a couple minutes?" Jason asked.

"I'll be there," Tommy answered back out of breath. "Bye, Bro."

He thumbed his cell phone off and fell asleep on the couch.
