Call You Names

I remember you caught me

With that first cigarette I smoked

If you'da heard what I called you

You'da washed my mouth out with soap

I remember that curfew

You said, don't you come home a minute late

I tell my friends all about you

And how you were just so lame

I called you all the names I could think of

That paint you in the most colorful light

I called you controlling

I called you mean

I called you everything in between

I couldn't wait to break your chains

So I called you names

Now I'm here in this little one bedroom apartment

And I call you wondering how to

Get a wine stain out of the carpet

And we talk for an hour

About my heart, the rent, and the rain

But what I'm really trying to say

Is I'm sorry for the hell I raised

Now I call you all the names I can think of

That paint you in the most beautiful light

I call you mama, my best friend

My everything 'til the end

I call you my angel

I call you a saint

Yeah, I call you names

If you'd a told me how

I'd feel right now about you

And that I call you everyday

I woulda called you crazy

Now I call you all the names I can think of

That paint you in the most beautiful light

I call you mama, my best friend

My everything 'til the end

I call you my angel

I call you a saint

Yeah, I call you names

I call you amazing, yeah

I call you names
