Verse:

Tho' you're always waxing sentimental And sweet words are all I ever hear,

You don't really give a continental, Deep down in your heart you're not sincere.

 

Chorus:

You Call Ev'rybody Darling,

And ev'rybody calls you darling too.

You don't mean what you're saying; It's just a game you're playing;

But you'll find someone else can play the game as well as you.

If You Call Ev'rybody Darling,

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 darling anymore.
