Call Out My Name Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake

[Pre-Chorus]
I put you on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

[Chorus]
So call out my name (call out my name)
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently
I want you to stay (want you to stay)
I want you to stay, even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait? (Why can't you wait, baby?)
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of love?
Won't you call out my name? (Call out my name)
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my-

[Verse 2]
I said I didn't feel nothing, baby, but I lied
I almost cut a piece of myself for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
'Til you made up your mind
You just wasted my time
You're on top

[Pre-Chorus]
I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly, babe
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me

[Chorus]
So call out my name (call out my name, baby)
So call out my name when I kiss you
So gently, I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you don't want me
Girl, why can't you wait? (Girl, why can't you wait 'til I?)
Girl, why can't you wait 'til I fall out of love?
Won't you call out my name? (Say call out my name, baby)
Girl, call out my name, and I'll be on my way
Girl, I'll be on my-

[Outro]
On my way
On my way

On my way
On my way
On my way

On my way
On my way
On my way

On my way
On my way
On my way

On, on

This song to me is about a guy who came and picked up the pieces of the girl he likes when she was broken, and once when she was okay she just discarded him.

This paragraph says everything about this song:

I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied I almost cut a piece of myself for your life Guess I was just another pit stop 'Til you made up your mind You just wasted my time

I think he regrets falling for someone who was using him. In turn he would hope she would call out for him so he could choose whether to leave her so he leaves her not the other way around. kinda like a regret he fell for her tricks and left cold, if only he could do that to her instead.

@gibsun wait, just read some other songmeanings by this artist, this song is probably about kicking cocaine.

This seems like a song about a woman who fell in love with him, but he was scared to fall in love (I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied) so she moved on. Now he feels betrayed because it seems like she moved on so quickly from him; making him feel like a pit stop. It feels like a song about his regret: falling in love with her, lying about it, and then losing her. Even though he feels betrayed, he would run back to her if she would give him another chance.

My Interpretation

@litamaivia Gotta say you're wrong. This is about him supporting and spending time with someone who he had strong emotions for, or loved, and once the woman recovered from her pain, she abandoned him. Not sure how you came to your conclusion, but that's way off target from my take on it.
