From the recording Cord of Three Strands
Lyrics
Don’t Call Me Baby
You can call me Darlin’, I might stay a while,
Call me Sweetheart and I’m sure to smile,
But there’s one thing, I warn ya, you must never do,
Don’t call me Baby or I’ll fall for you.
You can buy me chocolate at the corner store,
You can bring me sushi and I’ll ask for more,
Take me out for ice cream for a double scoop,
But if you call me Baby you’ll throw me for a loop.
Chorus:
Don’t O’ don’t call me Baby,
Don’t O’ don’t, you’ll drive me crazy, (it drives me crazy)
Don’t O’ don’t call me Baby, I’ll fall for you.
You can take me dancin’ for a night of fun,
You can promise you’ll love me more than anyone,
You won’t capture my affection no matter what you do,
Just don’t call me baby or I’ll fall for you.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
You ask me, please, why I’m weak in the knees,
Sticks and stones won’t break my bones
But that word forever haunts me
You can call me Darlin’, I might stay a while,
Call me Sweetheart and I’m sure to smile,
But there’s one thing, I warn ya, you must never do,
Don’t call me Baby or I’ll fall for you.
Chorus:
Don’t O’ don’t call me Baby,
Don’t O’ don’t, you’ll drive me crazy, (it drives me crazy)
Don’t O’ don’t call me Baby, I’ll fall for you.
