Billy Paul - Your Song lyrics

rate me

It's a little bit funny, 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 who knows (then again who knows)

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 gonna sing it for you

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song (this is your song)

It may be a quite, 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 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 a turnin' on

So excuse me for 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

Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean

You've got the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes

The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you go back

I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody

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, world

If, if, (if), if I sat upon a rooftop and kicked 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, 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 my shoes off

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 your 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 on 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, get back....
