Though you're always waxing sentimental
Your sweet words are all I ever hear
You don't really give a Continental
And deep down in your heart you're not sincere

You call everybody Darlin'
And everybody calls you Darlin', too  
You don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play 
The game as well as you

If you call everybody Darlin'
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore

As recorded by THE ANDREWS SISTERS:


You call everybody Darlin'
And everybody calls you Darlin', too  
You don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play 
The game as well as you

If you call everybody Darlin'
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore

(MALE CHORUS)
(You call everybody Darlin')
(And everybody calls you Darlin', too)  
(No, no, no, no, you don't mean what you're sayin')
(It's just a game you're playin')
(But you'll find someone else can play) 
(The game as well as you)

(If you call everybody Darlin')
(Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door, never more)
(And as the years go by)
(You'll sit and wonder why)
(Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore)

You call everybody (What?) Darlin' (Oh, hear me, yes)
And everybody calls you Darlin', too
(How many times in the day do I say)  
You don't mean what you're sayin'
It's just a game you're playin'
But you'll find someone else can play 
The game as well as you (Maybe better)

If you call everybody (What?) Darlin'
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door 
(Who's there, knock-knock)
And as the years go by
You'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore
