2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Call The Shots by Rick Poplawski

Lyrics

I knew when I first saw you
That I wouldn’t have no say
Well that’s what I’m expectin
Know it’s gonna be your way

But hey

If it means I’m gettin closer
And don’t need to be too shy

If it means I get to hold you
Then girl
I won’t tell no lie

You can

Call the shots
And tell me
All that you
Want me to do
Yeah just
Call the shots
And ask me
‘Cos I’m so hung up on you

[Music Interlude]

I don’t care about
Those other guys

Don’t need to know your past

Girl
I know this
Won’t be no long term thing
Not thinkin it will last

Hey

But for now

I don’t mind sayin

Mmm baby

You’re lookin hot

So,

It’s cool that when
I’m with you
I’ll let you
Call the shots

Wouldn’t have it any other way

Ha

Hold you tight
And when wer’e dancin
Brush your lips
Close to my ear

Whisper all the things
That’s comin
Tell me what I wanna hear

Oh yeah

Call the shots
And you can tell me
All that you
Want me to do
Yeah
Just call the shots
And ask me
‘Cos I’m so hung up on you

Go ahead girl

Call those shots

You set my eyes on fire

Mmm

Those hips are swayin hot

Gonna give you such
A good time girl
Give it everythin I got

I know it’s just a fun time
Don’t know that it will last

But that’s ok with me girl
Livin life
Is just that fast

Yeah

Call the shots
And you can tell me
All that you
Want me to do
Yeah
Just call the shots
And ask me
‘Cos I’m so hung up on you

You know I’m
So hung up on you

You can call the shots

That’s cool with me girl

You go ahead

And call those shots

Just call those shots…

You know I’m

So hung up on you..

  1. Thank you for your comments.
    I possibly made an error in entering this song for the ‘lyrics only’ contest.
    It has gone down quite well in the actual song comp, to which it is better suited, rather than as a stand alone lyrical piece

Tell us where you're based!

We’re rolling out something exciting — but first, we need to know where you’re based. It only takes a second, and you’ll only ever need to do it once!

You can choose who sees your information —
set it to ‘Only Me’ or make it public.
It’s up to you!
