Don't Call Me Baby

(альбом: Ain't In No Hurry - 2022)

She showed up to the hotel, half out of her mind
Right there in the lobby, she broke down and cried
He touched her shoulder, she looked him over, and then found his eyes
And softly replied

Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't my man
You ain't gonna hold me the way that he can
Oh, it's been so long, it's so strong, I'm so gone, you don't understand
Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't my man

They sat down together in that corner booth
Nothing between 'em but lies and the truth
She said I don't need a shoulder to cry on or a hero to come and rescue me
The one thing I need

Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't my man
You ain't gonna hold me the way that he can
Oh, it's been so long, it's so strong, I'm so gone, you don't understand
Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't...

My man's got a way of burning me, burning me til there's nothing left
Oh, it's amazing how he's still has a hold of me and it ain't over yet, no it ain't over yet

Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't my man
You ain't gonna hold me the way that he can
Oh, I've been so strong for so long, I'm so gone, you don't understand
Don't call me baby, 'cause you ain't my man
Call me sad, call me lonely, call me crazy
But don't call me baby
