Someone Else Calling You Baby
Luke Bryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were sitting in the passenger side
Messin' with the radio, you had your sun glasses on
I pulled over 'cause I couldn't believe
Two weeks ago that was you and me
Riding down these old back roads, singing our songs
Now everybody 'round our towns been whisperin'
A tear in your eye says I should have been listenin'
Baby is someone else calling you baby
It's driving me crazy
This bein' in the dark
Goodbye's ain't ever easy
So break it to me hard
If you're over my love girl
Lay it on my heart
Don't try to save me
Is someone else calling you baby?
You wanted time and you wanted your space
So I backed off, did whatever it takes
Never really thought you were that ready for moving along
Now I ain't leaving 'till I hear you say what's goin' on
It'll be what it will be, it's either him or me
Give me the word and girl I'm gone
Baby is someone else calling you baby
It's driving me crazy
This bein' in the dark
Goodbye's ain't ever easy
So break it to me hard
If you're over my love girl
Lay it on my heart
Don't try to save me
Is someone else calling you baby?
No, goodbye ain't ever easy
So break it to me hard
If you're over my love girl
Lay it on my heart
Don't try to save me
Is someone else calling you baby?
No, don't try to save me
Is someone else calling you baby?
Is someone else calling you baby?
