I Call Your Name

The Beatles · Past Masters (Remastered) [2009]

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

Well, don't you know I can't take it

I don't know who can

I'm not gonna make 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

Don't you know I can't take it

I don't know who can

I'm not gonna make 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
