[Chorus: CG5 & Talking Ben]
Ben on the line, Ben on my mind
Ben on the line
Ben on the line, Ben on my mind
Ben tellin' me every lie
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) on the line (Ha-ha-ho)
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) tellin' me every lie
[Verse 1: CG5 & Talking Ben]
Ben, I'm at a very low point (Yes)
Ben, I'm at a very low point in my life
Reachin' my crisis, quarter life
Tell me it'll be alright (Nah, nah, nah)
You're probably not listening
Wondering why I'm visiting
Taking it all out on you (Out on you)
So, why you gotta mock me?
You will never knock me
You will never know that I depend you
[Pre-Chorus: CG5]
(Depend on you)
Don't hang up the call
(Depend on you)
I need you to know it all
(Depend on you)
I need you to know it all
[Break: Talking Ben]
Ben
[Chorus: CG5 & Talking Ben]
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) on the line (Ha-ha-ho)
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) tellin' me every lie
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) on the line (Ha-ha-ho)
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) tellin' me every lie
[Verse 2: CG5 & Talking Ben]
Do I need a little therapy? (Yes)
'Cause you're the only one that talks to me (Ha-ha-ho)
I see the way that you're mistreating me
But somehow you're fixing my insanity (Ugh)
Does she love me? (Yes)
Does she love me not? (No)
Catch me up to speed
Do you love God? (Nah, nah, nah)
Nah, nah, nah, shut up!
I'm so sorry, you're the only one I got
[Bridge: CG5]
Ben, I was wedded today
My dad's gone away
I named my baby after you (After you)
Ben, my life is okay now
And I got you to thank now (I got you to thank–)
I don't need a stray to lead me astray
[Pre-Chorus: CG5]
(Only one I got)
Don't hang up the call
(Only one I got)
Until you know it all
(Only one I got)
I need you to know it all
[Break: CG5 & Talking Ben]
I need you to know it all
Na-na-na-na-na (Ben)
[Chorus: CG5 & Talking Ben]
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) on the line (Ha-ha-ho)
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) tellin' me every lie
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) on the line (Ha-ha-ho)
Ben (Ben) on the line, Ben (Ben) on my mind
Ben (Ben) tellin' me every lie
[Outro: CG5 & Talking Ben]
(Ben) I'm hanging up the phone (Ben)
(I'm hanging up the phone) (Ben)
I'm leaving you alone (Ha-ha-ho) (I'm leaving you alone)
I'm leaving you alone (Ben)
Ha-ha-ho
