Don't Call Me Dude

Here's my story, sad but true
 About a girl that I once knew
 She broke my heart, I became unglued
 It all started when she called me
 Dude
 Today I leave the psycho ward
 'Cause my sentence did conclude
 I killed a man with my bare hands
 Because he called me dude
 (The jury said that I was insane)
 (Temporally insane, brain strain)
 (Now the doctors say I'll be okay)
 (Start my new life today)
 This story starts some years ago
 As I vacationed by the sea
 In the California sunshine
 Just me and my baby
 (I was in love feeling sky high)
 (When a big blonde lifeguard walked by)
 (He looked at her, she looked at him)
 (I knew it was good bye)
 He took her by the hand
 Kicked sand in my face
 She looked, she laughed and said, ("Later dude")
 They were gone without a trace
 (He took by the hand)
 (Kicked sand in my face)
 (He took by the hand)
 (Kicked sand in my face)
 (They walked away without a trace)
 And the waves echoed her laughter
 And her words
 ("Yo' Later dude")
 Hey, dude don't call me "dude"
 Don't call me "dude"
 Hey, dude
 Don't call me "dude"
 Later that night I was in such a bad mood
 I was sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, gettin' stewed
 Thinkin' 'bout that girl and how 'bout I'd been screwed
 When some guy walks in sits next to me, says
 "What's up dude?"
 "Dude!"
 I heard the word "dude" and I became unglued
 Slowly I turned
 Step by step
 Inch by inch
 Step by step
 By inch by inch
 By step by step
 By inch by inch
 Step by step
 Step by step
 By step by step
 By step by step
 By step by step
 And put my hands around his neck
 And I squeezed
 Don't call me "dude!"
 Don't call me "dude!"
 Hey, "dude"
 Hey "dude"
 Don't do it!
 Don't call me "dude!"
 Dude, hey don't call me "dude!"
 Don't call me "dude!"
 Hey, "dude"
 Don't call me"dude!"
 Don't do it!
 Don't do it!
 Don't do it!
 Don't call me"dude!"
 So that's how I got where I am
 But this ain't where it ends
 The doctors said they cured me
 I said good bye to my crazy friends
 I was smiling as I left that place
 My life, my life had been renewed
 The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass
 And he said
 "Yo' Later dude!"
 "Yo' later dude!"
 Uh, dude, oh no!
 Dude!
 Slowly I turned
 Step by step
 Inch by inch
 I put my hands around his neck
 And I said
 "You can call me" "Ray"
 "Or you can" "Jay" "you know you don't"
 "But you don't you have to call me" "dude"
