Don't Call Me Dude Lyrics - Singles - Scatterbrain

by Scatterbrain 

from the recording titled 'Here Comes Trouble' 

Here's my story, sad but true 

About a girl that I once knew. 

She broke my heart, I became unglued, 

It all started when she called me dude 

Well today I leave the psycho ward 

Cause my sentence did conclude: 

I had killed a man with my bare hands 

Because he called me dude 

The jury said that I was insane. 

Temporally insane - brain strain. 

But now the doctors say I'm A.O.K. 

So I start my new life today. 

This story starts some years ago 

As I vacationed by the sea. 

In the California sunshine 

Just me & my baby. 

I was in love feeling sky high 

When a big blonde lifeguard walked by. 

He looked at her, she looked at him - 

I knew it was good bye. 

He took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face. 

She looked & laughed & said, "Later Dude!" 

They were gone without a trace 

And the waves echoed her laughter 

And her words...Yo Later Dude. 

Later that night I was in such a bad mood 

Sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, getting stewed 

Thinkin' 'bout that girl & how 'bout I'd been screwed 

When some guy walks in sits next to me & says 

What's up dude! 

I heard the word dude & I became unglued. 

Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch 

And put my hands around his neck, and I squeezed... 

DON'T CALL ME DUDE! 

So that's how I got where I am 

But this ain't where it ends. 

The doctors said they cured me 

I said good bye to my crazy friends. 

I was smiling as i left that place 

My life had been renewed. 

The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass 

And he said, "Yo Later Dude!" 

Slowly I turned...
