Robin D. Grimmond - I'd Love to Call You Darlin' Performed by James Stevens Lyrics

I'd love to call you "Darlin'" but I can't
If I did, things might not go as I planned
You're over there, I'm over here
Watching from behind this beer
I'd love to call you "Darlin" but I can't

I'd like to call you "Baby" but I can't
I can't afford to ever show my hand
We laugh and joke but nothing else
That doesn't satisfy myself
I'd love to call you "Baby" but I can't

Every Friday night we are together
We talk a lot and laugh a lot as well
But you're always here with my kid brother
He's in heaven, but I surely am in hell

I'd love to call you "Honey" but I can't
You might never ever really understand
I want from you oh so much more
But I must keep quiet , that's for sure
I'd love to call you" Honey" but I can't

Every Friday night we are together
We talk a lot and laugh a lot as well
But you're always here with my kid brother
He's in heaven, but I surely am in hell

I'd love to call you Darlin' but I can't
If I did, folks might just rave and rant
I think I'd better up and go
Before my emotions start to show
I'd love to call you "Darlin'" but I can't

Why couldn't you choose another
Did you have to pick my kid brother?
I'd love to call you "Darlin'" but I can't

I'd love to call you "Darlin'" but I can't
I'd love to call you "Darlin" but I can't

I'd love to call you Darlin' but I can't
If I did, folks might just rave and rant
I think I'd better up and go
Before my emotions start to show
I'd love to call you "Darlin'" but I can't
