Debbie Harry (Blondie) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Color me your car
Color me your color, darling
I know who you are
Come up off your color chart
I know where you're comin' from
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me (call me) my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me
Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) oh love
When you're ready we can share the wine
Call me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he speaks the languages of love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, amore, chiamami, chiamami
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any way
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day-ay
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) for a ride
Call me, call me for some overtime
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me in a sweet design
Call me (call me), call me for your lover's lover's alibi
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me)
Oh, call me, oh, oh, ah
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime
The lyrics to Debbie Harry/Giorgio Moroder's "Call Me" are full of metaphorical language, depicting the singer's desire to be contacted by her lover at any time, in any place, and in any way. The opening lyrics, "Color me your color, baby/Color me your car/Color me your color, darling/I know who you are," suggest that the singer wants to be fully immersed in her lover's world, even taking on the characteristics of his possessions. She wants to know where he's coming from, both symbolically and literally, and is willing to be painted in his colors to be closer to him.
The chorus, "Call me (call me) on the line/Call me, call me any, anytime/Call me (call me) my love/You can call me any day or night/Call me," emphasizes the singer's willingness to be available to her lover whenever he needs her. She wants to be covered in his love and kissed by him, even hidden from the world with him under designer sheets. The lyric "Roll me in designer sheets/I'll never get enough" depicts the singer's excessive love for her partner.
The bridge of the song emerges as an exploration of the multilingual nature of love. The lines "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he speaks the languages of love/Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, amore, chiamami, chiamami/Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi" suggest that love transcends language barriers, and the singer's lover can communicate his affection to her in any way possible.
Overall, "Call Me" is a song about the intensity of love and the deep connection two people can share. The lyrics suggest that true love is all-consuming, taking over one's thoughts and emotions, and that the singer is willing to do anything to be with her partner.
