Lyrics

[Verse 1: Katie White] Four-letter word just to get me along It's a difficulty and I'm bitin' on my tongue And I, I keep stallin', and keepin' it together People around gotta find somethin' to say now Holdin' back, every day the same Don't wanna be a loner, listen to me, oh no [Pre Chorus: Katie White] I never say anything at all But with nothing to consider, they forget my name-ame-ame-ame [Chorus: Katie White] They call me Hel, they call me Stacey They call me "her", they call me Jane That's not my name, that's not my name That's not my name, that's not my name They call me "quiet girl", but I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa, always the same That's not my name, that's not my name That's not my name, that's not my name [Verse 2: Katie White] I miss the catch if they throw me the ball I'm the last drip standin' up against the wall Keep fa-falling, these heels that keep me borin' Gettin' glammed up and sittin' on the fence now So alone all the time and I Lock myself away, listen to me, oh no [Pre Chorus: Katie White] And though I'm dressed up, out and all With everything considered, they forget my name-ame-ame-ame [Chorus: Katie White, Jules De Martino] They call me Hel (First, it was in my head) They call me Stacey (And now it's in my mind) They call me "her" (Call a preacher, get some words) They call me Jane (And get some time in) That's not my name (And though I realised) That's not my name (I cannot emphasise) That's not my name (Sittin' 'round with just a promise) That's not my name (Nothing binding) They call me "quiet girl" (However, can't you see?) But I'm a riot (Living so desperately) Mary, Jo, Lisa (A standing joke) Always the same (That I provoke a one-liner) That's not my name (Instead of sing-a-long) That's not my name (This song is monotone) That's not my name (I gotta get some soul) That's not my name (I gotta get some feeling) [Bridge: Katie White] Are you calling me "darlin'"? Are you calling me "bird"? Are you calling me "darlin'"? Are you calling me "bird"? [Chorus: Katie White] They call me Hel (Are you calling me "darlin'"?) They call me Stacey They call me "her" They call me Jane That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name They call me "quiet girl" (Are you calling me "bird"?) But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa Always the same That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name [Chorus: Katie White, Jules De Martino] They call me Hel (First, it was in my head) (Are you calling me "darlin'"?) They call me Stacey (And now it's in my mind) They call me "her" (Call a preacher, get some words) They call me Jane (And get some time in) That's not my name (And though I realised) That's not my name (I cannot emphasise) That's not my name (Sittin' 'round with just a promise) That's not my name (Nothing binding) They call me "quiet girl" (However, can't you see?) (Are you calling me "bird"?) But I'm a riot (Living so desperately) Mary, Jo, Lisa (A standing joke) Always the same (That I provoke a one-liner) That's not my name (Instead of sing-a-long) That's not my name (This song is monotone) That's not my name (I gotta get some soul) That's not my name (I gotta get some feeling) They call me Hel (First, it was in my head) (Are you calling me "darlin'"?) They call me Stacey (And now it's in my mind) They call me "her" (Call a preacher, get some words) They call me Jane (And get some time in) That's not my name (And though I realised) That's not my name (I cannot emphasise) That's not my name (Sittin' 'round with just a promise) That's not my name (Nothing binding) (So alone all the time and I lock myself away) They call me "quiet girl" (However, can't you see?) (Are you calling me "bird"?) But I'm a riot (Living so desperately) Mary, Jo, Lisa (A standing joke) Always the same (That I provoke a one-liner) (Though I'm dressed up, out and all) That's not my name (Instead of sing-a-long) That's not my name (This song is monotone) (With everything considered, they forget my name) That's not my name (I gotta get some soul) That's not my name (I gotta get some feeling) [Outro: Jules De Martino] First, it was in my head and now it's in my mind Call a preacher, get some words and get some time in And though I realised I cannot emphasise Sittin' 'round with just a promise, nothing binding However, can't you see? Living so desperately A standing joke that I provoke a one-liner Instead of sing-a-long, this song is monotone I gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feeling
