"What You Answer To" lyrics

If you ask my daughter, I'm just daddy
If you ask your mama, I'm a fool
If you ask ole Bill, he calls me buddy
But it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to

My doctor called me in some oxy something
Now he won't fill my script it's way too soon
My girlfriend's girlfriends call me way too often
But it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to

I've been called a loser, called a cheat
Called some things I can't repeat
And they've called the law on me, a time or two
I've been called right, called wrong
Some things were so dead on
But some things could not be farther from the truth
And it ain't what they call you
It's what you answer to

She, him, they, them, fine, whatever honey
It seems like the whole damn world's confused
I wish that I could laugh
But it ain't funny
And it ain't what they call you
It's what you answer too

Hey I've been called a loser, called a cheat
Called some things I can't repeat
And they've called the law on me, a time or two
I've been called right, called wrong
Some things were so dead on
But some things could not be farther from the truth

But it ain't what they call you
No matter what they call you
It ain't what they call you
It's what you answer to
