Call Me
Franz Ferdinand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Color me your color, baby
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 any, anytime
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 my love
When you're ready we can share the wine
Call me

Ooh, she speaks the languages of love
Ooh, amore chiamami
Ooh, appelle moi mon cherie

Anytime, anyplace
Anywhere, any way
Anytime, anyplace
Anywhere, any day, any way

Call me, call me, you're in my life
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me, call me for a ride
Call me, call me for some overtime

Call me, call me, you're my life
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, call me, call me
Call me, call me, call me, call me




Call me, call me, call me, call me
Call me, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Franz Ferdinand's song "Call Me" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about a person who wants to be called by someone they are interested in romantically. The singer asks to be "colored" by the other person, meaning they want to be identified with them and their unique identity. They also want to be "covered" by the other person with love and physical affection. The song uses repetition to emphasize the singer's desire to be called by the person they are addressing.


In the chorus, the singer makes it clear that they are always available for a call from the person they are addressing. They want to be in their life and be connected to them at all times. The singer is willing to drop everything and be there for the other person, whether it's for a ride or for some extra time together.


The lyrics also include some phrases in other languages, such as "amore chiamami" and "appelle moi mon cherie," which mean "love, call me" in Italian and French, respectively. These phrases add to the romantic and sensual tone of the song.


Overall, "Call Me" is a catchy and upbeat tune about wanting to be close to someone you care about.
