I Call Your Name
Beatles · Past Masters Volume One
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
