Don't call me baby When she is waiting in the car It took so long to get this far Don't call me baby You said forever And then you went and changed your plans You said some day I'd understand But I still wonder I wonder why we are not walking and fighting and asking for favours Meeting at midnight while avoiding all the neighbours Time is a distance that you can't retract by miles If I saw again I'd smile But I'd say don't call me baby When she is waiting in the car It took so long to get this far Don't call me baby I think she's pretty And I think that you have done quite well I still say you can never tell I wouldn't be surprised You never know we could be walking and fighting and asking for favours Meeting at midnight while avoiding all the neighbours Time is a distance that you can't retract by miles If I saw again I'd smile But Don't call me baby When were notnot the way we were It took so long to get this far Don't call me baby Sometimes down town I think I see you But I don't say a word because there is somebody new It's too late to matter There's no such thing as true You're in the shadows til you left me in the dark Don't call me Don't call me Don't call me Don't call me baby Don't call me baby Don't call me baby Don't call me baby Baby Don't call me Baby Don't call me Baby Baby
