That’s Not My Name Lyrics By The Ting Tings

    katie white
    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 got to find something to say now
    holding back every day the same
    don’t want to be a loner listen to me oh no
    i never say anything at all
    so with nothing to consider they forget my name

    they call me hell
    they 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
    maryjolisa
    always the same
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name

    katie
    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 they 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
    though i’m dressed up out and all
    with everything considered they forget my name

    katie
    they call me hell
    they 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
    maryjolisa
    always the same
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name

    jules
    this song was in my head
    now it’s in my mind
    call it reach it get some words and get some timing
    and though i realize
    i cannot emphasize
    i’ll stick around but just don’t promise nothing binding
    and baby can’t you see
    that you’re so desperately
    a standing joker like a vocal oneliner
    instead of singalong
    this song is monotone
    i’ve gotta get some soul i gotta get some feeling

    katie
    are you calling me darling
    are you calling me bird
    are you calling me darling
    are you calling me bird

    katie
    they call me hell
    they 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
    maryjolisa
    always the same
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name

    katie
    are you calling me darling
    are you calling me bird

    they call me hell
    they 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
    maryjolisa
    always the same
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name
    that’s not my name

    katie
    are you calling me darling
    are you calling me bird
