Call Me
A.J. & The Rockin Trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I heard that phone ringing, ringing off the wall
I ain't going to answer it at all
I've got me a pretty woman tucked up in my bed
I ain't going to talk today, messes with my head

So don't call me Joe
Pretend I ain't here no more
Don't you know this ain't no disguise

Just figure I'm in bed
So don't call me Fred
I just can't hang out with you guys
So don't call me Dan
I know you've got a plan
But I got me a pretty woman
I'm not your man

Don't call me Joe
Pretend I ain't here no more
Don't you know this ain't no disguise
Just figure I'm in bed
So don't call me Fred
I just can't hang out with you guys, no more
Don't call me Joe
I ain't here no more

Don't call me Fred
Think I'm way ahead
