Hotline Bling

Drake

July 31st, 2015

Someone used to call Drake on his cellphone, but ever since he left the city, that someone has a reputation. Now you're hanging with some girls that Drake's never seen before. See, you'd call him late at night when you needed his love. Now, he's stuck wondering if you're with someone else. You've changed, and Drake is worried. He misses the old you.
