Don't Call Me Darlin' Lyrics

Don't call me darlin', cause it means

Something different to me than what you intend it to be

Don't call me darling, it just gets me stressed

I know it's just your way of friendly talk

But I still have to walk alone again

Till I float away depressed

Cause I'm not your darling and I wish it were so

That endearing term that you like to throw around

When it said to me, knocks me to the ground

Yeah, back to the dust from whence I came

That throwaway line, I wish I were mine

But to you it's nothing more than a playful name

Hey, yeah

Don't call me darling, we're beyond that stage

Of risking more domestic strife

Stuck in a book that we call life

We can't turn the page

Don't call me darling, please don't play that game

Cause I've put too many miles on

That broken heart shaped tire pile

To change my lane again

Now calling out your sobriquet

Might be a breach of etiquette

But I know how you treasure honesty

Yet would our friendship still be strong

If I confess what I've felt so long

And you would bless the pleasure of our company

Hey, yeah

Don't call me darling, my words stumble along

Cause I might call your darling back

And I couldn't handle all the flack

If my answer turns out wrong

Don't call me darling, it just reminds me

Of what is and what can never be

Hey, yeah

Don't call me darling
