That's Not My Name

(with apologies to the Ting Tings)

Sittin' here, as I'm rhyming my song & it's
Not the best, but don't get me wrong cuz I
Still keep thinking, it'll turn out just fine
I'm still me, not just a disease.
If they could just see beyond the fingersticks
Not just a number,to this name
But it reads high, and alas it ends
as they start right in with all the blame..ame..ame..ame..

They call me Su-guh
They call me Sweet Stuff
They call me Splenda
They call me 'betic
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me non-compliant
But I'm not on some diet
Betty-Bop-Weirdo
Always some dame
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name


The meter drops, and I don't break it's fall
I'm sure all my friends must be appalled
Pick it up, be a good little D
But there's so much more to this deep complexity.
Don't wanna be defined by something so vague
With a rule book written back in the Dark Age
All I really want them to see
That although it's part of me, it's not all I am..am..am..am..

They call me Su-guh
They call me Sweet Stuff
They call me Splenda
They call me 'betic
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me non-compliant
But I'm not on some diet
Betty-Bop-Weirdo
Always some dame
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

Are you calling me Sweetie?
Are you calling me Hon?
Are you calling me Sweetie?
Are you calling me Hon?


They call me Su-guh
They call me Sweet Stuff
They call me Splenda
They call me 'betic
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me non-compliant
But I'm not on some diet
Betty-Bop-Weirdo
Always some dame
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
