Call Me Savage

You don’t know what to call me
You only just met me
Check with all the ruined men back east
And you will find they can’t forget me

Call me savage, call me passion’s child
Call me wicked, uncontrolled and wild
Call me Circei with no mercy
Call me deadly siren’s medley

Call me Cleo, call me Lorelei
Call me Lilith, Call me Evil Eye
Mata Hari or Dew Barry or Salome
or don’t know me!

(Male)
You’re so sweet (sweet?)
So sort of helpless and petite (yich!)
The kind that mother’s like to meet
So pure and wholesome
I’ll respect you, I’ll protect you

(Female)
Call me lethal, call me devilish
Call me toothsome, some delicious dish
Call me savage, or you’re not a….no you’re not a friend!

(Male)
I cannot call you savage, call you passion’s child
Call you wicked, uncontrolled and wild
Call you Circei with no mercy
You’ve no deadly siren’s medley

Call you Cleo, call you Lorelei
Call you Lilith (hah), Call you Evil Eye
Mata Hari or Dew Barry or Salome you’re so homey!

(Female)
I’m not sweet
Don’t say I’m helpless and petite
the kind that mother’s like to meet
Not pure and wholesome
Don’t respect me, Don’t protect me

(Duet)
Call me/you lethal, call me/you devilish
Call me/you toothsome, some delicious dish
Call me/you savage, you I got a
No you’re/I’m not a
No I’m/you’re not a….no you/I got a friend!
