Maybe I am being dumb, but I don't 'get' the lyrics to 'Call My Name'?

You know the Cheryl Cole song (I love it by the way and I love her) but do the lyrics actually mean anything, do they make sense or am I just being dumb.

How do you think I feel when you call my name?
You got me confused by the way I changed


Doesn't make any sense to me? Why is she confused and changing?

She's apparently confused at how she feels and behaves when this person calls her name...i.e. she's in love.

I think its because she has now changed her name to just "Cheryl", and she doesnt like it when people still put the "Cole" on the end as it reminds her of her marriage, the second line is her being confused by it as she is no longer married so doesnt understand why people are still calling her that, thats what I got from it anyway.

^^ I think it's more this.

Cheryl hasn't written the song, has she? (or has she? )

Calvin Harris wrote and produced everything. It was offered to Rita Ora first, but she rejected it.

Yes, I quite like the song, it took me a while to get into it but after a few listens i just decided to take it for what it is, a fun, dancey song.

Someone says her name, but she's like, "LOL i dun get it...is that my name?" because she's so stupid that doesn't even know her name.

She's Cheryl cole on my Itunes and she is staying as Cheryl Cole
Bit pointless have two seperate music folders for the same artist

That would make sense if Cheryl actually wrote the songs she "sings".

Is doesnt matter if she writes them or not, all she has to do is tell them what kind of song she wants and her label will find someone to write it for her. If she connects to the words then thats all that matters really.

Weirdly sounds like a Dannii Minogue song. When she used to do all those dance songs.

Lyrics don't have to make any sense, just look at the most stuff in the charts.

Song writers do write songs specifically for artists, so it wouldn't make a difference. Also she does song write

This song in particular wasn't written with Cheryl in mind. Her team were just lucky to get hold of it after it had been passed around for a while.

The songs were not written for her, it's just that they're all about love and heartbreak which is all Cheryl Cole has going for her...
Fight For This Love - oh, that must be about how she's fighting for her marriage to Ashley Cole!
3 Words - ah, she loves Ashley and that's all that matters
Parachute - she loves Ashley and knows he has her back
Promise This - this must be her resolve about her relationship with Ashley!
The Flood - the doleful aftermath of her life without Ashley

...If anything, all of this just serves to state how sinfully boring, similar and shite her music is.

Think you are right, her songs do follow a very predictable pattern, don't forget the Will I am song Heartbreaker that she featured on. I am sure that was released round the time her marriage ran into trouble the first time.
