I'd Love To Call You Darlin' 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

I can't satisfy myself

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

Bridge

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 sure am in hell

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

You might never ever really understand

I want you so much more

But I must keep quiet , that's for sure

I'd love to call you" Honey" 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

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
