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 said you would?
Is this really your real phone number?
But you know Im a man now, baby, a grown man
And I came a long way, ha-ha
Cause those fears taught me one thing
Taught me to hold on to my love
Sometimes
I just cant help thinkin livin without you, baby
See, sometime
I just cant live cryin about you, baby
Im not worried bout a doggone thing
Ill take anything you bring
Although I love the sunshine
Ill still accept the rain
Cause when Im in my lonely mood
And I just can`t be with you
I tried everything to occupy my mind
But there was no substitute
Thinking all that life would be
When youre not around
I just could not find a way
I wouldnt even know up from down
But since Ive had you in my life
All these 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
Cause I dont worry `bout what my people say
In my life today
Although they try to say youre not the one for me
Ill love you any way
Cause their intentions might be cool
If what they say was true
But theres more to you than they could ever see
And they dont even know you
Thinking all that life would be
When youre not around
I just could not find a way
I wouldnt even know up from down
But since Ive had you in my life
All these can be found
So strong and true, baby
Comin from you, you, you, you, you
You, I call your name, girl
Sometimes when I get 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
You, I call your name, girl
Sometimes I get lonely, baby
I call your name
I just cant seem to help myself for not wanting to be alone
So I call your name, I call your name, ho...ho...
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
I do, you do
Birds and bees do too
I love you, you love me
And I know
Whoa...oh...whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...
I call your name and it eases the pain
See, I just dont feel all by myself tonight
It seems like someone else is out there
Oh, thinkin of holding someone else tonight
So you will know where Im comin from
Oh, when Im lonely, when Im discouraged
Oh, I call your name, babe
There is no substitute for you
No one could take your place
Youre more than they could ever receive
Thats why I call your name
Oh, baby, when I am lonely
When I am discouraged
I call your name, girl
I think of you and it eases the pain
Take away the strain
You, I call your name, girl
Sometimes when I get 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
Da da lee la la la la la la (Da da lee la la la la la la)
Da da lee la la la la la la (Da da lee la la dee da dee da)
