Lyrics
I tried so hard
To be carefree
Rolling out of someone's bed
Into the sunshine
But the sun coming up
Doesn't always bring the light
And somehow I feel
It's just not right, not for me
Oh, it's been so long
Since I've been loved by name
Love me by name
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh)
I feel afraid
I don't know why
You're surely not the first I've had
Who held me gently
Who took the sweet time
To ask me about me
Well maybe this time
Oh, God, let it be
Oh, it's been so, so, so long
Since I've been loved by name
Love me by name
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh)
Love me by name (Love me) (Love me) (By name)
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Love me)
Love me by name (Love me by name)
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh)
Love me by name (Love me) (Love me) (By name)
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh)
Love me by name (Love me) (Love me) (By name)
Love me by name
Love me, love me (Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh)
Love me by name (Love me) (Love me)
