Your Song

Billy Paul - Your SongIt´s a little bit fanny Lord, this feeling inside
I´m not one of those who can easily hide
I don´t have much money but, boy, if I did
I´d buy a big mansion where we both could live

If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, honey, but then again, no
(then again no, no)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin´ show
I know it´s not much, I know it´s not much, but it´s the best I
can do
You gave me a gift Lord, and I´m goin´ sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
(this is your song)
It may be a quite simple, but that´s how it´s done
I hope you don´t mind, I hope you don´t mind
What I wrote down in words, words
How wonderful life is when you´re in the world, world, world

If, if, (if), if I was on a rooftop
I´d kick off my shoes (kick off my shoes , kick my shoes off)
I´ll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun´s been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It´s for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin´ on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do Lord
(these things I do Lord)
You see, you see I´ve forgotten if they´re green or blue
Abyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes, you´ve got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I´ve ever seen, I hope you got back

I hope you, I hope you got back and tell every body
That this is your song (this is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple, but now that´s how it´s done
I hope you don´t mind, I hope you don´t mind
But I wrote down in words Lord, words
I´m doin´ it for how wonderful it is when you´re in the world,
world, world

If, if, (if), if I sat upon a rooftop I´d kick off my shoes, oh
yeah
(kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
I´ll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun´s been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It´s for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin´ on, so escuse me, so escuse me

So escuse me forgetting, but these things I do
(these things I do Lord)
You see, you see I´ve forgotten if they´re green or blue, baby
And anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really
mean
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I´ve ever seen

I want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody
That Billy Paul´s got a song (Billy Paul´s got a song)
I´m, I´m gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes
I´m gonna write it (write it), write it (write it), write it
(write it)
I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel), the blues (blues),
The jazz (jazz), the rock and roll

I´m gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Because this is my song (this is my song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that´s the way it´s done
I hope you don´t mind, I hope you don´t mind
What I wrote down in words, words
You come back, you try to try again, try again

Tell everybody that Billy Paul´s got a song
(Billy Paul´s got a song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that´s how it´s done, baby
I hope you don´t mind, I hope you don´t mind
what I wrote down in words
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh
Get back, get, got, oh no
