"CALL ME BY MY NAME"

Call me by my name

Know who I am

It’s my identity

if you wish to speak to me

It’s a simple request

I believe it’s the best

There’s a reason behind this

Listen and you won’t miss

Call me by my name

Don’t play me the same sick game

even when you think you try to be

nothing but sweet to me

Baby, honey, sweetie...

They all sound the same

not real names

often used by the shady

to hide the fact I’m not the only

So please, just call me by my name

Don’t call me baby

not even if you mean it wholeheartedly

I’m not a toy to be played

so please be honest with me

So what’s my name?

(waits for an answer)

Yes, exactly.

Now you know it.

That’s how you should always call me.
