Four letter word just to get me along

It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and I,

I keep stalling, and keeping it 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 Hell

They call me Stacey

They call me her

They call me Jane 

That's not my name  X 4

 

They call me quiet

But I'm a riot

Mary-Jo-Lisa

Always the same

That's not my name  X 4



I miss the catch if they throw me the ball

I'm the last chick standing up against the wall

Keep-a falling, these heels that keep me boring

Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now



So alone all the time and I

Lock myself away, listen to me, oh no

And though I'm dressed up, out and all

With everything considered they forget my name

'ame, 'ame, 'ame



They call me Hell

They call me Stacey

They call me her

They call me Jane 

That's not my name  X 4

 

They call me quiet

But I'm a riot

Mary-Jo-Lisa

Always the same

That's not my name  X 4



Are you calling me darling? 

Are you calling me bird? 

Are you calling me darling? 

Are you calling me bird?



They call me Hell

They call me Stacey

They call me her

They call me Jane 

That's not my name  X 4

 

They call me quiet

But I'm a riot

Mary-Jo-Lisa

Always the same

That's not my name  X 4



(background vocals, sung in counterpart)

This lick was in my head

Now it's in my mind

Call a preacher, get some words and get some timing

Though I realize

I cannot emphasize

Sitting round with just a promise, nothing binding

However, can't you see

Living so desperately

A standing joker, like a vocal one-liner

Instead of sing-along

This song is monotone

I gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feeling
