The Ting Tings “That’s Not My Name” – Music Lyrics

That’s Not My Name
by The Ting Tings

Four letter word just to get me along
It’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue
I Keep stalling, keeping it together
People around I gotto find something to say
Holding back everyday the same
Don’t wanna be a loner
Listen to me
I never say anything at all
So with nothing to consider they forget my name

They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That’s not my name…
They call me quiet
But I’m a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same
That’s not my name…

I miss the catch when they throw me the ball
I’m the last drip standing up against the wall
Keep falling, these heels that keep me boring
Getting clamped up and sitting on the fence
So alone all the time and I lock myself away
Listen to me
Thought I’m dressed up out ‘n all
With everything considered they forget my name

They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That’s not my name…
They call me quiet
But I’m a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same
That’s not my name…

Are you calling me darling
Are you calling me bird…
