(I) Don't have nobody to call my own = I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

"call" = "consider to be" = "think of as"

In the lyrics, "call my own" means to have someone who belongs to her in a personal or romantic way. It does not refer to a phone call or shouting. She is asking for someone she can love and who loves her in return.
