I Call Your Name

(I call you, it's you, baby)
(Da da lee la la la la la la)
I call your name, girl
Oh, thinkin' of holding someone else tonight
All comin' from you
If what they say was true
Take away the strain
I'll take anything you bring
Take away the strain
'Cause when I'm in my lonely mood
I call your name and it eases the pain

That's why I call your name

I love you, you love me
You, I call your name, girl
I call your name and it eases the pain
I just can't help thinkin' livin' without you, baby
Taught me to hold on to my love}
I think of you and it eases the pain
You're more than they could ever receive
Take away the strain
I call your name
I call your name, girl
I think of you and it eases the pain
(You you you you you you you you you you you you you)
Sometimes
I think of you and it eases the pain

Whoa oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

'Cause their intentions might be cool
I wouldn't even know up from down
I just can't seem to help myself for not wanting to be alone
Thinking all that life would be
See, I just don't feel all by myself tonight
See, sometime
I just could not find a way
And I just can't be with you
And I know
I think of you and it eases the pain
(When I feel the need of love)
It seems like someone else is out there
So you will know where I'm comin' from
When you're not around
I'm not worried 'bout a doggone thing
So I call your name, I call your name, ho ho
'Cause I don't worry 'bout what my people say
(And you, baby, and you, whoa oh)
Take away the strain
(Da da lee la la la la la la)

No one could take your place
Birds and bees do too
Sometimes I get lonely, baby
(Da da lee la la dee da dee da)
Birds and bees do too
And they don't even know you

I call your name

Oh, when I'm lonely, when I'm discouraged
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
Da da lee la la la la la la
But since I've had you in my life
You, I call your name, girl
But there was no substitute
(Whenever I am lonely, baby)
I call your name
But since I've had you in my life

So strong and true, baby

'Cause those fears taught me one thing
All these can be found
Da da lee la la la la la la
(Da da la da dee da la da da da)
(When I feel the need of love)
I just could not find a way
I'll still accept the rain
In my life today
Comin' from you, you, you, you, you
Take away the strain
I do, you do
When you're not around
Take away the strain
Oh, baby, when I am lonely
And I know
I love you, you love me
Thinking all that life would be

I do, you do
I'll love you any way

I call your name
Are you gonna call me like you said you would?
Although I love the sunshine
Take away the strain
I tried everything to occupy my mind
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
And I came a long way, ha-ha
I think of you and it eases the pain

All these can be found
So strong and true, baby
You, I call your name, girl
(Da da la da da da la da da da)
I call your name, girl
But you know I'm a man now, baby, a grown man
Da da lee la la la la la la
But there's more to you than they could ever see
I just can't live cryin' about you, baby
You, I call your name, girl

I think of you and it eases the pain
(I call your name)
Although they try to say you're not the one for me
I wouldn't even know up from down
There is no substitute for you
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
When I am discouraged

I call your name

Is this really your real phone number?
Oh, I call your name, babe
Whoa oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
