Call My Name

Call, call my name
Call it, call my name

I heard your voice this morning
Calling gout my name
It had been so long since I heard it
That it didn't sound quite the same

But it let me know that my name
Had never really been spoken before
Before the day I carried you
Through the bridal path door

Ever since that day I haven't wanted anyone but you
And anybody who really knows me knows the truth

Chorus
I just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon babygirl
I might go insane
I know it's only been three hours
But I love it when you
Call my name

I heard a voice on the news sayin'
People want to stop the war
But if they had a love as sweet as you,
They'd forget what they were fighting for
What's the matter with the world today?
Land of the free? Somebody lied!
They can bug my phone
Peep around my home
They'll only see you and me
Making love inside

Chorus

I've never seen the moon look so lovely
As the night I saw it with you
It let me know I'd never seen
The moon before
So many speak of the moon
As though it had no flaws
But to compare it to a beauty like yours
Would give one pause

Nothing about you is false,
That's why your love is real
God forbid you belonged to another
I'd have to steal ya...
Take you from your man
I might be tempted to break the law
Around here
Because your beauty - it gives one pause
It slows me down

Chorus

Call, call my name
Call, call my name

"Prince", that's right
