Don’t Call Me Names By Rhiannon Giddens
Don’t call me names
Don’t yell at me
Don’t think that you can treat me anyway you see
Don’t sermonize
Don’t patronize
If you want to talk about me look me in the eye
Don’t threaten me
Don’t treat me a rough
Don’t you try to throwing at me cause I’ve had enough
You wouldn’t treat a dog that way
Don’t call me names
First I met we kissed
It was everything I’ve missed
And I knew that I have found my one and only
My favorite man restored
[?]
And who everything was right when you would hold me?
But some kisses turn to treats
If I didn’t wear that dress or If I ever try to take your crown
It took me way too long
To catch on to your song
You build me up just to tear me down
Don’t call me names
Don’t yell at me
Don’t think that you can treat me anyway you see
Don’t sermonize
Don’t patronize
If you want to talk about me look me in the eye
Don’t threaten me
Don’t treat me a rough
Don’t you try to throwing at me cause I’ve had enough
You wouldn’t treat a dog that way
Don’t call me names
Now you’re breeze back in town
sniffing at me like a hound
And you begging for scrap at my table
I know you’re tune are changed
When my life is rearrange
You be screaming just [?] able
So after all this years
Dry your tears, have no fears
That I would think of you a true [?]
Save your fakeness for your wife
I have another life, one that’s true, one that’s free and independence
Don’t call me names
Don’t yell at me
Don’t think that you can treat me anyway you see
Don’t sermonize
Don’t patronize
If you want to talk about me look me in the eye
Don’t threaten me
Don’t treat me a rough
Don’t you try to throwing at me cause I’ve had enough
You wouldn’t treat a dog that way
Don’t call me names
[x2]
Don’t call me names
Don’t yell at me
Don’t think that you can treat me anyway you see
Don’t sermonize
Don’t patronize
If you want to talk about me look me in the eye
Don’t threaten me
Don’t treat me a rough
Don’t you try to throwing at me cause I’ve had enough
You wouldn’t treat a dog that way
Don’t call me names
