Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

A phone call becomes the small action that might end two people's loneliness. The narrator looks past previous relationships and difficult experiences toward a Friday night together, then imagines the morning after as the beginning of something larger. Waiting stretches into eternity while the hope of a new connection stays immediate.

CALL ME GIRL

Call Me Girl

It didn’t take a minute

You rock my world

And I want you in it

Oh, the sweetest thing

That could ever be

Would be to sing a song

About you and me

You know that this old world

Has put us through it

Call Me Girl

Let's get down to it

Call Me Girl

Come on and pick up the phone

Call Me Girl

No need to be alone

Babe, it’s Friday night

And I just got paid

We’re gonna spike

The pink lemonade

Call Me Girl

Nothing in our way

Call Me Girl

It’s a brand new day

Bridge:

I don’t care about the plans you made

That other man or the price you paid

Or what you put each other through

I only want to be with you

Girl, if you can hear me

Please know I want you near me

There’s no need to fear me

Please tell me you can hear me

It's early in the morning

The sun is on the rise

I can see the moon reflected

In the teardrops in your eyes

Something unexpected there

Rainbow colors everywhere

2 new lovers stop and stare

And disappear into thin Air

Call Me Girl

The world is waiting there

For you and me

Call me girl

Maybe we can find a way

For Love to set us free

Call Me Girl

Every moment waiting

Feels like eternity

Call Me Girl

The world belongs to you and me
