Call My Name
Cheryl Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me confused by the way I changed
How do you think I feel when you call my name
My name, say my name baby
Yes I love you, say it, for the way I know we’ve been apart
It's an endless circle of poison arrow to my heart
I, I love you too much to let go
How do you think I feel when you call my name
You got me confused by the way I changed
How do you think I feel when you call my name
My name, say my name baby
How do you think I feel when you call my name
You got me confused by the way I changed
How do you think I feel when you call my name
My name, say my name baby
It's a constant thought of my baby taking up my time
It's a non-stop vision of you that's playing on my mind
Sayin’ I, I love what you do to me, need you to stay with me
I, I love you too much to let go
How do you think I feel when you call my name
You got me confused by the way I changed
How do you think I feel when you call my name
My name, say my name baby
How do you think I feel when you call my name
You got me confused by the way I changed
How do you think I feel when you call my name
My name, say my name baby
When you call my name
When you call my name
Say my name baby
When you call my name
When you call my name
Say my name baby
The song "Call My Name" by Cheryl Cole is a pop-dance track about the powerful impact of love and the confusion it can bring. The chorus repeats the question, "How do you think I feel when you call my name," emphasizing the idea that the person's very identity and emotions are tied to their lover's presence. The lines, "It's an endless circle of poison arrow to my heart" and "It's a non-stop vision of you that's playing on my mind" depict the intensity of the infatuation and the all-consuming thoughts it generates.
The verse "Yes I love you, say it, for the way I know we’ve been apart" suggests that the singer's desire for affirmation is related to the fact that the lovers have been separated: the longing has grown stronger during that time. The repeated phrase "Sayin’ I, I love what you do to me, need you to stay with me" underscores the level of attachment and dependence the singer feels. The song's upbeat tempo creates a contrast with the somewhat melancholic lyrics, showing that the feeling of being in love can be both exciting and bewildering at the same time.

Cheryl as a solo artist did not get enough credit, all her songs were bangers and shes a great performer
