Say My Name
Dimitri Vegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Say my name, say my name
Better say my name

Every other day, I would call, you would say
"Baby, how's your day?" but today, it ain't the same
Every other word is "Uh-huh, yeah, okay"
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady?

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me "Baby"
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me "Baby, baby, baby"

Baby
Baby
Baby
Why the sudden?

Baby
Baby
Baby
Ain't callin' me "Baby, baby"

I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down, that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be no reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me

'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me 'Baby'
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me "Baby, baby, baby"

Baby
Baby
Baby
Why the sudden?

Baby
Baby
Baby
Ain't callin' me "Baby, baby"

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin' game

Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady




Ain't callin' me "Baby"
Why the sudden change?
