That's Not My Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Four letter word, just to get me along
It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue
And I, I keep stalling, not keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider
They forget my name, ame, ame, ame
They call me hell
Tey call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me quiet girl
But I'm a riot
Mary-Jo-Lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last drip standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels that keep me boring
Getting clamped up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away, listen to me, I'm not
And though I'm dressed up out and all
With everything considered, they forget my name, ame, ame, ame
They call me hell (this song was in my head)
Tey call me Stacey (and now it's in my mind)
They call me her (call it, reach it)
They call me Jane (get some words and get some timing)
That's not my name (and though I realize)
That's not my name (I can't emphasize)
That's not my name (I'll stick around)
That's not my name (but just don't promise, nothing binding)
They call me quiet girl (but, baby, can't you see?)
But I'm a riot (that you're so desperately)
Mary-Jo-Lisa (a standing joker)
Always the same (like a vocal one-liner)
That's not my name (instead of sing along)
That's not my name (this song is monotone)
That's not my name (I gotta get some soul)
That's not my name (I gotta get some feeling)
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
They call me hell (are)
Tey call me Stacey (you)
They call me her (cal-)
They call me Jane (ling)
That's not my name (me dar-)
That's not my name (-ling?)
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me quiet girl (are)
But I'm a riot (you)
Mary-Jo-Lisa (cal-)
Always the same (-ling)
That's not my name (me bird?)
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me hell (are) (this song was in my head)
Tey call me Stacey (you) (and now it's in my mind)
They call me her (cal-) (call it, reach it)
They call me Jane (ling) (get some words and get some timing)
That's not my name (me dar-) (and though I realize)
That's not my name (-ling?) (I can't emphasize)
That's not my name (I'll stick around)

That's not my name (nothing binding) (so alone all the time)
They call me quiet girl (but, baby, can't you see?) (and I lock)
But I'm a riot (that you're so desperately) (myself away)
Mary-Jo-Lisa (a standing joker)
Always the same (like a vocal one-liner) (though I'm dressed up out)
That's not my name (instead of sing along) (out and all)
That's not my name (this song is monotone) (with everything considered)
That's not my name (I gotta get some soul) (they forget my name)
That's not my name (I gotta get some feeling)
