Dont Ever Call Your Sweetheart By His Name by Christine Lavin Lyrics
To look at me, you may not think that I'm a Femme fatale
But I've got more boyfriends than I can count, you know I don't mean pals
Well, there's Andrew, Barney, Charlie, Dan, and Ed - to note a few
I used to get their names mixed up, but now here's what I do
I call them
Sweetheart, Babylove
Angle face, Turtledove
Honey pie, Sugar lamb
Huggy bear, Lover man
To avoid any possible embarrassment or blame
I never call my sweetheart by his name
My girlfriend, Marcia's quite a dish
She meets boys by the dozens
She knows all the New York Jets
Their brothers and their cousins
And each one thinks he is the one that she is crazy 'bout
'Cause at the crucial moment she's been know to holler out
Ooooh
Sweetheart, Babylove
Angle face, Turtledove
Honey pie, Sugar lips
Macho man, Motor hips
To avoid any possible embarrassment or blame
She never calls her sweetheart by his name
Some people think this is dishonest (no, no, no, no, no)
Some people think this isn't right
But have you ever said "I love you, Thomas"
When Thomas was the boy you were in love with last night. (uh-oh)
Next time your sweetie calls you "Dear"
Maybe you should wonder
Are they just trying to avoid a social blunder
I'm not trying to make trouble, monogamy is grand
But if it's not your style better follow my plan
And call him
Sweeheart, Babylove
Angle face, Turtledove
Honey pie, Sugar lamb
Lover boy, Superman
Avoid any possible embarrassment or blame
Don't ever call your sweetheart by his name
Don't ever call your sweetheart
(No never call you sweetheart)
Don't ever call your sweetheart by his name
But I've got more boyfriends than I can count, you know I don't mean pals
Well, there's Andrew, Barney, Charlie, Dan, and Ed - to note a few
I used to get their names mixed up, but now here's what I do
I call them
Sweetheart, Babylove
Angle face, Turtledove
Honey pie, Sugar lamb
Huggy bear, Lover man
To avoid any possible embarrassment or blame
I never call my sweetheart by his name
My girlfriend, Marcia's quite a dish
She meets boys by the dozens
She knows all the New York Jets
Their brothers and their cousins
And each one thinks he is the one that she is crazy 'bout
'Cause at the crucial moment she's been know to holler out
Ooooh
Sweetheart, Babylove
Angle face, Turtledove
Honey pie, Sugar lips

Don't ever call your sweetheart by his name
Don't ever call your sweetheart
(No never call you sweetheart)
Don't ever call your sweetheart by his name
