I call your name but you're not there
Was I to blame for being unfair
Oh I can't sleep at night
Since you've been gone
I never weep at night
I can't go on
Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man
Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
Aww
Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man
Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
