Lyrics of That's Not My Name (Edit) by The Ting Tings
verse
Four letter word just to get me along
It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and uh
I keep stalling, and keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
verse
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
chorus
They call me Elle
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
chorus
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
chorus
They call me quiet girl
But I'm a riot
Maybe Jolisa
Always the same
chorus
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
verse
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now
verse
So alone all the time at night
Lock myself away, listen to me, I'm not
Although I'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name, -ame,-ame, -ame
chorus
They call me Elle (this song was in my head)
They call me Stacey (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)
chorus
That's not my name (though I realise)
That's not my name (I cannot emphasise)
That's not my name (I'll stick around)
That's not my name (but just a promise, nothing binding)
chorus
They call me quiet girl (however, can't you see)
But I'm a riot (that you're so desperately)
Maybe Jolisa (a standing joker)
Always the same (like a vocal one-liner)
chorus
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 (gotta get some feeling)
bridge
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
chorus
They call me Elle (are)
They call me Stacey (you)
They call me her (call-)
They call me Jane (-ing)
chorus
That's not my name (me dar-)
That's not my name (-ling?)
That's not my name
That's not my name
chorus
They call me quiet girl (are)
But I'm a riot (you)
Maybe Jolisa (call-)
Always the same (-ing)
chorus
That's not my name (me bi-)
That's not my name (-rd?)
That's not my name
That's not my name
chorus
They call me Elle (this song was in my head)
They call me Stacey (now it's in my mind)
They call me her (call it, reach it, get some words)
They call me Jane (and get some timing)
chorus
That's not my name (though I realise)
That's not my name (I cannot emphasise)
That's not my name (I'll stick around, but just a promise)
(That's not my,) so alone (name) (nothing binding)
chorus
They call me quiet girl (however, can't you see)
But I'm a riot (that you're so desperately)
Maybe Jolisa (a standing joker)
Always the same (though I'm dressed up)
chorus
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 (gotta get some feeling)
Writer(s): Julian De Martino, Katie White
