Switch - I Call Your Name

Switch - I Call Your Name

Lyrics:

I used to think about, immature things

You know like, do you love me, do you want me, are you gon' 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

And 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, 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 like sather 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

Thinkin' all that life would be, when you are 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

Strong and true baby, all comin' from you ohh you

Chorus:

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 what my people say, in my life today

Although they try to say you're not the one for me, I love you anyway

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

But there's more to you than they can ever see, and they don't even know you

Thinkin' all that life would be, when you are 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

Strong and true baby, all comin' from you ohh you

Chorus:

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

You, I call your name (sometimes, I get lonely babe)

I call your name (I just can't seem to help myself)

I think of you (When I wanted to be alone, so I'll call your, I'll call your name)

I do, you do baby, we do girl

I, I, I love you, you you love me, and and I know

Whoa ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh ohh

I call your name, and it eases the pain

See, I just don't feel all by myself tonight

It seem like someone else is out there, oh thinkin' upon someone else, child

So you will know where I'm comin' from

Ohh when I'm lonely, when I'm discouraged, I'll, I'll call your name baby

There is, no substitute, no one could take your place

No more than they can ever see

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

Thinkin' all that life would be, when you are 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

Strong and true baby, all comin' from you ohh you

Chorus:

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

You, I call your name (sometimes, I get lonely babe)

I call your name (I just can't seem to help myself)

I think of you (When I wanted to be alone, so I'll call your, I'll call your name)

I do, you do baby, we do girl

I, I, I love you, you you love me, and and I know

Whoa ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh ohh

I call your name, and it eases the pain

See, I just don't feel all by myself tonight

It seem like someone else is out there, oh thinkin' upon someone else, child

So you will know where I'm comin' from

Ohh when I'm lonely, when I'm discouraged, I'll, I'll call your name baby

There is, no substitute, no one could take your place

No more than they can ever see

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
