Though you?re always waxing sentimental
Your sweet words are all I ever hear
You don?t really give a continental
Honey, deep down in your heart you?re not sincere
'Cause you call everybody Darling
And everybody calls you Darling too
You don?t mean what you?re saying
It?s just a game you?re playing
But someday you?ll find someone else
Who plays as well as you
'Cause if you call everybody Darling
Then love won?t come a knocking at your door
And as the years go by, you?ll sit and wonder why
Why don't nobody call you Darling anymore
'Cause if you call everybody Darling
Then love won?t come a knocking at your door
And as the years go rolling by
You're gonna sit around and wonder why
Why don't nobody call you Darling
Why don't nobody call you Darling
Why don't nobody call you Darling anymore
