I said, "Don't switch the station on my radio"
She did anyway
I told her not to forget I mean what I say
She did anyway

Just two kids hanging out for a Sunday
Go for a taco an hour away

Oh, but don't call me "baby"
You'll lose me that way

If I were I were any more younger, I would scream
I did anyway
If she were any more shiny, she would gleam
She did anyway

She said, "Go north 27, but never go south
'Cause you'll wind up in prison with an unkissed mouth"

Oh, but don't call me "baby"
You'll lose me that way
Don't call my "baby"
You'll lose me that way

Oh, my fingers are numb and my heart still aches
And I can't get the damn car started
well, I know I was there, but why should I be there
When I can't get the damn car started?

Oh, but don't call me "baby"
You'll lose me that way
Don't call me "baby"
You'll lose me that way

Don't call me, don't call me "baby"
Oh, you'll lose me that way
Oh, call me crazy, but, oh, don't call me "baby"
