{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 fears taught me one thing
Taught me to hold on to my love}
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
You, I call your name, girl
(Whenever I am lonely, baby)
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
′Cause I don't worry ′bout what my people say
Although they try to say you're not the one for me
'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
I just could not find a way
I wouldn't even know up from down
But since I′ve had you in my life
Comin' from you, you, you, you, you
You, I call your name, girl
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
You, I call your name, girl
Sometimes I get lonely, baby
I just can′t 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
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
You, I call your name, girl
(Sometimes when I get lonely, baby)
(When I feel the need of love)
I think of you and it eases the pain
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)
Da da lee la la la la la la
(Da da lee la la la la la la)
I think of you and it eases the pain
(Da da la da dee da la da da da)
(Da da la da da da la da da da)
(And you, baby, and you, whoa oh)
(You you you you you you you you you you you you you)
I think of you and it eases the pain
