I Call Your Name - 12" Version

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 I'm a man now, baby, a grown man
 And I came a long way, ha-ha
 'Cause those experience taught me one thing
 Taught me to hold on to my love
 Sometimes
 I just can't help thinkin' livin' without you, baby
 See, sometime
 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'll 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
 But there was no substitute
 Thinking all that life would be
 When you're not around
 I just could not find a way
 I wouldn't even know up from down
 But since I've 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 don't worry 'bout what my people say
 In my life today
 Although they try to say you're not the one for me
 I'll love you any way
 'Cause their intentions might be cool
 If what they say was true
 But there's more to you than they could ever see
 And they don't even know you
 Thinking all that life would be
 When you're not around
 I just could not find a way
 I wouldn't even know up from down
 But since I've 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 can't seem to help myself for not wanting to be alone (I think of you and it eases the pain)
 So I call your name, I call your name, ho ho (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 don't 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 I'm comin' from
 Oh, when I'm lonely, when I'm discouraged
 Oh, I call your name, babe
 There is no substitute for you
 No one could take your place
 You're more than they could ever receive
 That's 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
