This month’s review will be on a song that has been getting me through Senior Year! The name of the song is “Don’t Call” by Leon Timbo. The song is basically about having that one friend you can always call on, no matter what. My mother used to listen to this song a lot and, occasionally, I will find her still listening to it, of course. I have always understood the meaning of the song, but it never held any value to me. Now that I have had to endure the infamous SENIOR YEAR, I listen to this song every day when I wake up. That friend, for me, is my mother. I talk to her at least twice a day, once when we first get up and once in the evening. Without further ado, here’s the song:
Don’t call come get me, cause I need your help.
I’d fall in my misery, if you weren’t there.
I know I’m a mystery, and shuga that ain’t fair.
Don’t call come get me, and I’ll be right here.
Promise me no questions, and I’ll promise you no lies.
You can come stay if you wanna, pray if you wanna, but I need your time.
I can’t trust myself in this state I’m in, and your my God sent.
And if I cry, ride it out with me, fight it out with me if your my friend.
Don’t call come get me, cause I need your help.
I’d fall in my misery, if you weren’t there.
I know I’m a mystery, and shuga that ain’t fair.
Don’t call come get me, and I’ll be right here.
You may not have the answers, you may not have no words at all.
I just need your company here so love on me now.
I can’t trust myself in this state that I’m in no, no so…
Ride it out with me, fight it out with me, if your my real friend.
Don’t call come get me, cause I need your help.
I’d fall in my misery, if you weren’t there.
I know I’m a mystery, and shuga that ain’t fair.
Don’t call come get me, and I’ll be right here.
I ain’t got a whole lotta friends, and I ain’t tryna make this no revenge.
I need you.
Help… help…
Come get me.
I’m not doing so well, no.
Come get me.
Don’t pick up the phone and call me, get over here.
Come get me.
Oh I might do some things I’m not supposed to do,
be somewhere I’m not supposed to be, I’m here.
Come get me.
I need my friend, I need my friend.
Come get me.
Nobody understands me, quite the way you do.
Come get me.
Don’t give up on me, don’t give up on me.
Come get me.
Your love is healing to my soul.
I’ll be right there.
I’ll be right there.
I’ll be right there.
There.
This song reminds me every morning that I have someone who is willing to stand with me in any situation to love and guide me truthfully. We love to see it.
