I Call Your Name

I used to think about immature things

You know like

Do you love me? Do you want me?

Are you gonna call me like you say you would?

Is this really your real phone number?

But you know, I don't worry 'bout that now

See, I'm a young man and I came a long way, yeah

And if life is teaching me anything

It's teaching me to hold onto my love

Sometimes, I just can't help thinkin'

Livin' without you, baby

See, sometimes, I just can't live

Cryin' about you baby

I'm not worried 'bout a doggone thing

I'll take anything you bring

Although I love the sunshine

I still accept the rain

'Cause when I'm in my lonely mood

And I just can't be with you

I tried everything to occupy my mind

And there was no substitute

Thinking all that life could be when you're not around

I just could not find my way

I wouldn't even know up from down

But since I've had you in my life

All things can be found so strong and true, baby

All comin' from you

You, I call your name, girl

Whenever I am lonely, baby

I call your name

When I feel the need of love

I think of you and it eases the pain

Take away the strain

I don't worry 'bout what people say in my life today

Although they try to say you're not the one for me

I'll love you anyway

'Cause their intentions might be cool if what they say is true

But there's more to you than they can ever see

And they don't even know you

Thinking all that life could be when you're not around

I just could not find my way

I wouldn't even know up from down

But since I've had you in my life

All things can be found so strong and true, baby

All comin' from you

You (you)

I call your name, girl

Whenever I am lonely, baby (yeah)

I call your name

When I feel the need of love

I think of you, and it eases the pain (it eases the pain)

Take away the strain

I call on you, baby (la-la-li-la-li-li-la-la-la-la-la)

(La-la-li-la-li-li-la-la-la-la-la)

Sometimes when I'm lonely, girl (la-la-li-la-li-li-la-li-la-la)

(La-la-li-la-li-li-la-li-la)

I think of you (la-la-li-la-li-li-la-la-la-la-la)

(La-la-li-la-li-li-la-la-la-la-la) and it eases the pain

Take away the strain (uh, yeah)
