Call Me Cautious Lyrics

It was like a light switch

The first time I saw it

That little bit of malice in your eyes

Your smile was never dim

Not when you were looking at him, no

And suddenly the dots made a perfect line

Every little comment

That I thought was innocent

Was all part of some elaborate plan

Saying you're free at the weekends

And you can't cook for yourself

You poor thing!

They were all tactics deployed to steal my man

Send kisses to sign off your texts

Like I can't see what comes next

Been here a hundred times before

I didn't learn then but now I know

Call me cautious

Call me paranoid

Call me anything you want, I won't hear

You won't get close enough

Call me cautious

Call me manipulative

I'm psycho, too protective

It's all stones and sticks

So long as you don't call him

No, you don't call him

You push my buttons

But in fairness to your scheme

The boundaries weren't set so you couldn't overstep

Now I'll make them loud and clear

You don't call him babe

You don't call him yours

You don't say "how fun would it be?"

"How angry would she get if I acted as if I wanted you with me?"

Bat your eyelids, I'm sure he'll fold

Don't wanna leave you out in the cold

Offer a ride to take you home

You take advantage of his kindness

He doesn't know

Call me cautious

Call me paranoid

Call me anything you want, I won't hear

You won't get close enough

Call me cautious

Call me manipulative

I'm psycho, too protective

It's all stones and sticks

So long as you don't call him

I'm sure you think you're smart

That you're always one step ahead

But I can hear the plan behind the joke

When you say

"When I drink, I just can't control myself"

Call me cautious

Call me paranoid

Call me cautious

Call me, call me, but don't call him!

Call me cautious

Call me paranoid

Call me anything you want, I won't hear

You won't get close enough

Call me cautious

Call me manipulative

I'm psycho, too protective

It's all stones and sticks

It's all stones and sticks

Call me, call me, call me

No, no, no, no, don't call him
