Why does my Spotify keep kicking me off of my playlist in the middle of a song?

I live in Ohio and have a Premium Account. I listen to my playlist on my cell phone. I try to listen to my playlist and Spotify keeps kicking me off, mid song, and plays songs that are in none of my playlists. I'm a paying customer and so annoyed!.
