Call Me Baby

Call Me Baby

I must confess...
I’ve caused a lot of mess,
blatantly calling you nasty names,
playing all kinds of childish games.
I used to think you couldn’t get enough
of me because I was hot stuff.
Never thought you would ever leave,
that you would always stay, I still believe.
You no longer call me on the phone…
like the proverbial cheese, I sleep alone.

Without you, Baby, I’m feeling so crazy,
really scatter-brained and hazy.
I feel like such a big fool
losing you and losing my cool.
Tell me this is not how our story ends;
please give me a second chance to make amends.
I’m sorry I did you wrong;
so sorry for stringing you along.
Please let me make it up to you;
I’ll do whatever it takes to start anew.

We were so wonderful together;
I promise this time it’ll be even better.
I miss being your leading lady…
please, please call me, Baby.

This is a raw one, and one that I can also relate to. It's hard to get that magic back once again.

A great deal of work you done here friend, a wonderful lyric painted with power of emotion. It is beautifully and excellently penned. I hope this will be a lesson for those who have opportunity, but misusing it: It comes only once, they should grab it with both hands. Brilliant piece...........A.M.
