You Call Everybody Darling
Love's Deception: Unraveling the Sweet Words
Lyrics
Though you're always waxing sentimental
Expressing that the person often reminisces about the past emotionally
Your sweet words are all I ever hear
Stating that the affectionate words from the person are the primary communication received
You don't really give a continental
Suggesting that the person doesn't genuinely care
Honey, deep down in your heart you're not sincere
Indicating that despite outward expressions, the person lacks sincerity
'Cause you call everybody Darling
Highlighting the insincerity by noting that the person uses endearing terms universally
And everybody calls you Darling too
Pointing out that others reciprocate the same endearing language to the person
You don't mean what you're saying
Asserting that the person's expressions are not genuine or heartfelt
It?s just a game you're playing
Describing the affectionate behavior as a mere playful act
But someday you'll find someone else
Predicting that the person will eventually encounter someone with similar deceptive tactics
Who plays as well as you
Suggesting that the person will face competition in playing the deceptive game of affection
'Cause if you call everybody Darling
Reiterating that universal use of endearing terms impedes genuine love
Then love won't come a knocking at your door
Emphasizing that insincerity prevents love from entering one's life
And as the years go by, you'll sit and wonder why
Predicting future regret and reflection on the absence of love
Why don't nobody call you Darling anymore
Wondering why affectionate terms are no longer directed at the person
'Cause if you call everybody Darling
Repeating the idea that universal use of endearing terms hinders love
Then love won't come a knocking at your door
Reiterating that insincerity prevents love from entering one's life
And as the years go rolling by
Predicting future contemplation on the absence of love as time passes
You're gonna sit around and wonder why
Suggesting that the person will question why affectionate terms are no longer directed at them
Why don't nobody call you Darling
Pondering the reason for the lack of affectionate terms from others
Why don't nobody call you Darling
Repeating the question about the absence of affectionate terms
Why don't nobody call you Darling anymore
Reiterating the inquiry into the decline of affectionate terms directed at the person
