Oh babe what's in a name?
Should your word always sound the same?
I remember the song that you sang and the chords that you rearranged
Oh babe what's in a name?
Grew tired of the one that your parents gave
They heard that you wanted to change it
Like trumpets on judgment day
Oh babe what's in a name?
I can't say
Oh babe what's under the blanket?
Sometimes I can't read a face
Guess they still don't know how to behave
When they can't place you any which way
Oh babe what's in a name?
When you say it it feels so strange
I noticed your nails were unpainted
Went home for the holidays
Oh babe what's in a name?
I can't say
