Calling Me Names Lyrics

You should blame yourself
You and no one else
You can say you're not
But you were guilty as well

Instead of making sense
And talking like we're friends
You think it's a better idea
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's ever gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling me names

The nights you talk about
I always forget
Something I did or something I should not have said
And when I think we're good
It happens again
You think it's a better idea
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's ever gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling me names

You should blame yourself
You and no one else
You can say you're not
But you were guilty as well

Instead of making sense
And talking like we're friends
You think it's a better idea
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's ever gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling

Calling me names
Don't think it's ever gonna change me
Calling me names
Calling, calling me names

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the lyrics are pretty straightforward, and i've got a feeling that most people who will look at this will relate. sometimes our relationships turn sour and you fight more than anything. most of the time they point the finger at you and say it's all your fault but they are guilty as well. instead of being civil and talking things out with you they just call you names, and it doesn't change a thing.

@biology I think there is more to it than that. The light-heartedness of music and the ways he sings adds something to the song. he is discussing an angry topic but in a fun and carefree way. Plus the lyric "don't think it's ever gonna change me" part makes me think it's about empowerment and standing up for yourself within a bad relationship. The songs light tone makes me think it is more about the freedom you get when you realize someone else's opinion of your or words don't have to change who you are.

Like realizing that...
