Story Behind The Song

I once saw a movie where this woman kept calling a guy by the wrong name and it really got the guy angry. I thought about how angry he would be if she called him that while they were in bed together.

Song Description

Guy and girl have a great relationship, but when they make love she always calls him by a different name.

Lyrics

I met my baby oh so long ago
How we met I don't exactly know
But we had fun, around we'd run
Come rain come sun or snow
But when romance turned to passion
Well now things ain't never been the same
'Cause we made love under the stars above
But she'd call out HIS name

CHORUS
She called me Ed, most every night
She called me Ed, you know it just ain't right
It's one of those things that takes a man
And chills you to your bones
But I love that girl so dearly
That I just can't let her go

Now the first time that it happened
Well I just kind of let it go
I said I love you baby, but the name is NICK
And I thought that you should know
Now the next time we got amorous
Well I admit my hopes were high
But you can imagine just how I felt
When it was HIS name she cried

Repeat CHORUS

Now we'd go out to dinner parties
And we'd stay out half the night
She'd call my name all night long
And she'd always get it right
Well we had fun, hell at least she did
At the parties when we'd go
But my stomach was tied in knots all night
'Cause later on I know

Repeat CHORUS

Well finally I had had it
Yes our day of reckoning it had come
I couldn't take it
My nerves were shattered
My feelings were all numb
Well she looked at me with those big brown eyes and said
There' something you should know
I'll say it once and after that
If you want why you're free to go

Now she said I could either be here with you
A-callin out his name
Or I could be in bed, with ED
A-callin out YOUR name

And I thought about it and I said baby..

You can call me Ed any time you like
Just call me Ed when you turn the lights way down low
Just hold me when you love me babe
And take good care of me
'Cause I love that girl so dearly
And she's told me oh so clearly
That Ed is history
