Stop trying, don't you see the look in my eyes?
And stop begging, can't you see I've run outta lies?
Stop showing up at my favorite restaurant
And dropping by my work saying you just wanna talk

Don't call me baby
Don't call me baby
Anymore

Stop running baby cause you've run outta time
(Stop running baby cause you've run outta time)
And stop asking, you know all the reasons why
(Stop asking, you know all the reasons why)

Stop staring through me like you know who I am
(Stop staring through me like you know who I am)
When you don't know me, you don't know me, barely knew me then
(You don't know me, you don't know me, you don't know me you don't)

And don't call me baby
Don't call me baby
Anymore

Hey, hey, hey
Walking away now, walking away now baby
Oh baby
Hey, hey, hey
Walking away now, walking away now baby
Oh baby

Don't call my number
Don't call me over
Don't call me baby
Anymore

What you gonna do my love?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say this time?
What's your excuse?
When you gonna break my heart?
When you gonna break?
Nobody hurts like you

Stop staring through me like you know who I am
When you don't know me, you don't know me, barely knew me then
(You don't know me, you don't know me, you don't know me you don't)

And don't call me baby
Don't call me baby
Anymore

Hey, hey, hey
Walking away now, walking away now baby
Oh baby
Hey, hey, hey
Walking away now, walking away now baby
Oh baby

Don't call my number
Don't call me over
Don't call me baby
Anymore

    This song sounds a lot like Def Leppard's "Love Bites" to me.

    I don't want to touch you too much baby (Stop Running Baby Cause You`ve Run Outta Time)

    Cause making love to you might drive me crazy (Stop Asking You Know All The Reasons Why)

    I know you think that love is the way you make it (Stop Staring Through Me Like You Know Who I Am)

    But I don't want to be there when you decide to break it (When You Dont Know Me, You Dont Know Me, Barely Knew Me Then)

    well after listening to this song basically every day at work, i assumed it was just about a girl being done with a guy and him understanding that. but after reading the actual lyrics, this part...

    What You Gonna Do My Love What You Gonna Do What You Gonna Say This Time What`s Your Excuse When You Gonna Break My Heart When You Gonna Break Nobody Hurts Like You

    i NOW think that it is still about a girl wanting the guy to leave her alone, but only because he really hurt her with this lies (hence the excuses) and possibly cheating...

    Yeah, I think it means the guy seriously hurt her and she's done with him "don't call me 'baby', anymore".

    Anyways, I love this song and Kreesha Turner! :D

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
