Name Calling Lyrics
A long time ago
When we were in school
You used to laugh at me
Call me a fool
How I dreamed of a day you would change your tune
I never thought that day would come so soon
You went from name calling (name calling)
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now your love is double
Things will never be the same since you went from name calling
To calling my name
Uh
Alright
It all started that day
After summer vacation
I knew I had changed
Your heart's dedication
Oh don't know what I did
To change your mind
Must have been something within you
All the time
You went from name calling (name calling)
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now you're with me on the double
Things will never be the same since you went from
Name calling to calling my name
Now instead of busting and fighting
We're making sweet romance and love letter writing
Like the old saying goes
And girl, you must take heed
I may not be what you want
But I'm what you need
Uh
Now I've forgotten
Those things in the past
We can build a love affair
And make it last
Oh 'cause sticks and stones might hurt me
But words can't do no harm
Now instead of running from you
I'm running to your arms
You went from name calling (name calling)
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now you're with me on the double
Things will never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
No more schoolyard games
Never be the same
Never be the same
Since you went from
Name calling to calling my name
When we were in school
You used to laugh at me
Call me a fool
How I dreamed of a day you would change your tune
I never thought that day would come so soon
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now your love is double
Things will never be the same since you went from name calling
To calling my name
Alright
After summer vacation
I knew I had changed
Your heart's dedication
Oh don't know what I did
To change your mind
Must have been something within you
All the time
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now you're with me on the double
Things will never be the same since you went from
Name calling to calling my name
We're making sweet romance and love letter writing
Like the old saying goes
And girl, you must take heed
I may not be what you want
But I'm what you need
Those things in the past
We can build a love affair
And make it last
Oh 'cause sticks and stones might hurt me
But words can't do no harm
Now instead of running from you
I'm running to your arms
To calling my name
You went from schoolyard teasing (schoolyard teasing)
To all night pleasing
Used to be so much trouble (be so much trouble)
Now you're with me on the double
Things will never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
No more schoolyard games
Never be the same
Never be the same
Since you went from
Name calling to calling my name
