That's Not My Name

About That's Not My Name

"That's Not My Name" is the third single by British duo The Ting Tings from their debut studio album We Started Nothing. Vocalist Katie White states that the song was written "with me ranting about my frustrations with the record industry." The song was originally released as a double A-side with "Great DJ" by independent record label Switchflicker Records on 7 May 2007. After heavy promotion from BBC Radio 1 and the NME, the single was re-released individually on 12 May 2008 on Columbia Records. "That's Not My Name" topped the UK Singles Chart, seeing off competition from well-established acts like Rihanna, Madonna, and will.i.am. The song was a sleeper hit in North America, peaking within the top 40 of the charts in the United States. The single has sold over a million digital copies. more »

Four letter word just to get me along 
It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue 
And I I keep stalling, keeping me together 
People around gotta find something to say now 
Holding back, everyday the same 
Don't wanna be a loner 
Listen to me, oh no I never say anything at all 
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame) 

They call me 'Bell' 
They call me 'Stacey' 
They call me 'her' 
They call me 'Jane' 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
They call me 'quiet girl' 
But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa 
Always the same 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball 
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall 
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring 
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now 
So alone all the time at night 
Lock myself away 
Listen to me, I'm not 
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with 
Everything considered they forget my name (ame, ame, ame) 

They call me 'Bell' 
They call me 'Stacey' 
They call me 'her' 
They call me 'Jane' 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
They call me 'quiet girl' 
But I'm a riot Mary-Jo-Lisa 
Always the same 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 

Are you calling me darling? 
Are you calling me bird? 
Are you calling me darling? 
Are you calling me bird? 

They call me 'Bell' 
They call me 'Stacey' 
They call me 'her' 
They call me 'Jane' 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
They call me 'quiet girl' 
But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa 
Always the same 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 

They call me 'Bell' 
They call me 'Stacey' 
They call me 'her' 
They call me 'Jane' 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
They call me 'quiet girl' 
But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa 
Always the same 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 

They call me 'Bell' 
They call me 'Stacey' 
They call me 'her' 
They call me 'Jane' 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
They call me 'quiet girl' 
But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa 
Always the same 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name 
That's not my name
