Please Don't Call Me is an unreleased song by Marina Diamandis, intended for her fourth studio album, LOVE + FEAR.
The song was written by Marina and Sarah Hudson, the 2017 version was produced by Jason Evigan.
Background[]
The first version of the song was written in February 2017 with Sarah Hudson,[3] the export date on the song gives a specific date of February 10, 2017;[4] it was produced by Jason Evigan.[5][6]
In 2019, Marina described being "almost certain" that she was going to give You and Karma to other artists, and it wasn't until stripping them down to piano tracks and subsequently getting them re-produced after her break, that she "fell back in love" with them.[7]
This explains why there are two studio versions of Please Don't Call Me, and may indicate that this song was a serious contender for the album's original tracklist.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I know you care
'Cause you do this with everyone (Ooh)
You’re not aware
That you get tunnel vision (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you don't text me back
You cause a chain reaction, a chain reaction-on
And I take one step back
It weakens my attraction, my attraction-on
[Chorus]
Please don't call me
It’s getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me
Till I'm around, around
Then you're all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
Please don't call me (Don't call me)
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me (Ignore me)
Till I'm around, around
Then you’re all about me
This ain’t what I wanna feel from you
(Feel from you, feel from you)
[Verse 2]
You make me feel
Like I'm not a priority
Spinnin' your wheels
For another apology
[Pre-Chorus]
When you don’t text me back
You cause a chain reaction, a chain reaction-on
And I take one step back
It weakens my attraction, my attraction-on
[Chorus]
Please don't call me
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me
Till I'm around, around
Then you’re all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
Please don't call me (Don't call me)
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me (Ignore me)
Till I'm around, around
Then you're all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
(Feel from you, feel from you)
[Bridge]
So many second chances
So many circumstances
Can't keep me guessin' like this
You just don't seem to get it (Ooh)
Please don't call me
Please don't call me
No
Please, please don't call me
Please don't call me
No
Please, please don't call me
Please don't call me
No
Please, please don't call me
Please don't call me
No
[Chorus]
Please don't call me (Oh, oh)
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me (Oh, oh)
Till I'm around, around
Then you're all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
Please don't call me (Don't call me)
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me (Ignore me)
Till I'm around, around
Then you're all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
(Feel from you, feel from you)
[Verse 1]
I know you care
'Cause you do this with everyone

When you don't text me back
You cause a chain reaction, a chain reaction-on
And I take one step back
It weakens my attraction, my attraction-on
[Chorus]
Please don't call me
It’s getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me
Till I'm around, around
Then you're all about me
This ain't what I wanna feel from you
Please don't call me (Don't call me)
It's getting me down, down
You straight up ignore me (Ignore me)
Till I'm around, around
Then you’re all about me
This ain’t what I wanna feel from you
(Feel from you)

[Bridge]
So many second chances (Ah)
How many circumstances? (Ah)
Can't keep me guessin' like this (Ah)
You just don't seem to get it (Ooh)
