I Can Never Turn the Cell Phone Off

TTTO “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Come Off” by John Nichols

When I’m going out with good friends,

I grab my cellphone much to their chagrin

Lord have mercy for my only thought’s

I can never turn the cell phone off

Not an extra, it’s not just a phone

It’s not a sin for which I must atone

It’s my salvation, what I always sought

I can never turn the cell phone off

[Chorus]

It isn’t about how much it’s used

No matter what you think

When I’m outside, when I’m far from home

I will always have my link

I turn my music player off and on

And mostly use it when I’m all alone

But it won’t help you if you spit and froth

I can never turn the cell phone off

My laptop’s always turned off during lunch

I like to concentrate on food I munch

But no matter how much people scoff

I can never turn the cell phone off

[Chorus]

I used to say that it was just for fun

But I guess when all is said and done

You can joke about the friends I’ve lost

I can never turn the cell phone off

No, I never turn the cell phone off,

Oh, I’ll never turn the cell phone off!
